Congratulations! Are you going to accept?

Thank you. I was actually debating on going home so early, but I'm glad I did. As soon as I got there, my mom had a letter in her hand from Gannon. Definitely didn't think I'd hear from them so soon. To answer your question, I'm not entirely sure. The enrollment deposit is due in two weeks. At this point, I think I'm using Gannon as a backup. I will admit that it's a pretty penny & they are not yet accredited. My biggest concern is not being able to sit for the NOTCE because the program I graduated from was not accredited. According to the research I've done online, very few programs that reach candidacy status are denied accreditation. So it's definitely something to consider.

Did you decide about whether you are going to accept or not? I turned down Governor's states offer and decided to accept Gannon's. I honestly don't believe they'll have any issues with accreditation.

I decided to accept also or for now. And Gannon U's stats is "pre-accreditation" vs. candidacy status. Are you from Florida?
 
I've been speaking with Desire on a DAILY BASIS haha and she told me this "Your cohort would not experience any issues with accreditation, as the timeline to make adjustments (if needed) would be handled years before you graduate. Accreditation should not be a true concern for any student joining us, but especially for those who started 2016 and beyond."
 
Thank you and congratulations to you all! No, I am not from Florida. But if it's any consolation, I've visited Miami a few times. Eventually, I know I have to find housing since the extension campus doesn't offer it. I think I have a plan, now I just need a few roommates.

I just got a letter saying I was placed on the waitlist. I applied late though and am finishing my last prereq.
 
Hey! Congratulations to you yall! I am a senior in undergrad and hoping to apply to Gannon this fall! Would any of you mind sharing your stats with me? I haven't been able to find out a ton about their acceptance rates and am a little worried that I dont know what I'm getting into!

Thank you! Do you mind me asking if you ended up getting into the program? or other places you applied/got in?
 
I won't know until after May 15th, which is the deadline to submit the documentation for my hours and such. Cuts things super close since classes start June 1st (thankfully online only for the summer, so it gives me time to move).

I have not, no. Although I just got some big envelope from Gannon today aaaand...it is just an informational packet. LOL! Like what the hell, guys!? Either an acceptance or a rejection were my expectations from that fancy thing, haha.

Cheaper than the OTD!

Where are you gonna be living?
Click to expand...

i have no idea. i put in a graduate housing app but haven't heard anything (they sent me info way late so i'm behind on everything). i don't know the area at all and i'm not close so i thought this would be the way to go at first.

are you definitely accepting??

I already accepted, yeah. What area do you currently live in? I'm in SoCal. I'd love to find others from this cohort. The better connected, the better we'll all do.

I think if you are used to living in expensive areas, Erie is super cheap judging by a look around Craigslist. I've been told it's super cheap to buy a house there, too. I mean, it's certainly no San Francisco in terms of cost of living, thank goodness 🙂

Also, it seems to be a big college town, so that's kinda cool.

I don't want to buy a house there but the lower cost of living will be a huge help! esp. with this school taking all of our money. got that email today about the $75 organization fee and don't even want to look up textbooks... seriously, what does my tuition cover!!? #negativenancy

but I'll be happy when we start 😀

Haha. I know. I need to get student loans for living expenses, too! I have heard working the first semester or even year isn't advised.

I am gonna get all my books in .PDF form. Cheaper and easier that way for online classes. I never buy them if I can avoid it.
 
Hello everyone, I'm going to be joining you guys in the MSOT program in the erie campus! YAY! I'm also from new york and will be driving up there in a few weeks to look for apartments.

that's great! really happy to have found some classmates. can't believe we're actually starting next week!

i don't think i'm going to be able to make it up there before we start in august so i'm going to be selecting an apt without really seeing it... if you could share any details about the area when you make the trip it would be greatly GREATLY appreciated.

Is interview required ?

Did you figure out if it was required or not? Accidentally applied right before the interview date but haven't heard about another interview date...
 
Hi, I was recently accpeted to Gannon’s msot program (yay)! I was wondering if any of you were current students and had any input on the program. Thanks!

I just got my email acceptance this morning and it’ll also be coming in the mail too! I submitted my app 2/7 and heard back a month later. Is anyone on this thread deciding to go to Gannon and is there a Facebook group?
 
Anyone who received acceptance willing to share their stats?!? 🙂
 
I accepted a seat in the OTD program but will probably be turning it down soon because I got into a cheaper school so waitlist will be moving 🙂

I applied to the MSOT program the same time as the OTD program but got accepted to the OTD program a week ago. Just got an email today that I was accepted to the MSOT program as well so will likely be considering the MSOT program now instead of the OTD unless I get accepted into other schools!

Like the location is not too great? The weather seems very cold there haha

it's definitely cold. i was prepared for the cold and the snow but not the constant grey skies.

the location's not too great either but you get used to it... having a car helps a lot (i don't have one). if you're from around the area it'll probably be fine.
