Getting anxious that I haven't heard back from any schools

I haven't heard from anywhere yet, and I'm starting to get anxious, even though my OTCAS application was only verified during the first week of January. I feel like my stats are OK (GRE 1350/4.0, GPA 3.46, 110 shadowing hours), but I'm really starting to doubt my chances, especially at the schools with rolling admissions. Any input is helpful! Thanks!

I am applying to:
Howard University
University of Illinois at Chicago
Midwestern University-IL
University of Pittsburgh
Shenandoah University
Towson University
Jefferson College of Health Sciences
Bay Path College
Philadelphia University
Sacred Heart University

I applied to UIC, Midwestern, UPitt, and Bay Path as well and I have only heard back from Pittsburgh. My application was verified in early December, and Pittsburgh sent my acceptance letter a few days before Christmas. No word from anyone else though. Good luck!!! 🙂

I think Midwestern sent me a "thank you for your application" email about a week after my application was verified. Also, I completed the UIC graduate application before my OTCAS application was verified, and UIC admissions sent me an e-mail telling me what I was missing (my OTCAS file). If you don't hear anything in another week or so, you may want to make a phone call or two.

Oh, I did get that letter from Midwestern also. I also got a letter from UIC regarding financial aid. I just meant I have not heard whether I was accepted or rejected. Sooo anxious!

I received those emails as well from all/ most of the schools. I was thinking more about admission decisions.

Anyone know how long it typically takes to get a decision from Pittsburgh after I got the email that my application is under review? I'm getting anxious! It's been a week today.

Samurail, what are your stats? Even though most schools do rolling admissions, its still early enough that I wouldn't worry yet, but I know how nervewrecking this process is! Its hard not to worry.. Stay positive though!

HopefulOT, I got an email saying my app was under review from Pittsburgh on the 17th of Dec, and got an acceptance email on Dec 21. Good luck to you, hope you get good news!!

My stats are:
GRE: V 700/ Q 650 / W4.0
GPA: 3.46
Pre-rec GPA: around 4.0
Shadowing hours: 110 in a variety of locations.

I am very worried about the incorrectly described relationship on the LOR from the OT.

I also applied to Bay Path, and Lynn George told me the deadline is March 1st. Completed applications may be reviewed in February, but no date has been set. I also sent everything at the beginning of January, but I still have not received a confirmation. Lynn said some of my materials may still be in data entry. This is taking longer than I thought.

I just wanted to post an update that I have been accepted at Sacred Heart, and I got an interview at Howard! Those are the only schools I have heard from, but I am very excited about SHU!
