GPA's, GRE's, XTRA's, ACCEPTANCES

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hi. I was wondering if anyone has heard from Rockhurst University? I applied in October and noticed their interview date is next Saturday but haven't heard anything yet.
 
Has anyone heard any more information on Indiana State's early admission interview, or is anyone else going?
 
Has anyone heard back from Augusta University or know when we'll hear back? I thought they said they would tell us before Dec. 1st.

Hey! I was wondering what was ATSU’s interview like? Also did you receive your invitation for interview through email?

Are you applying to UF's OTD program? Did they say anything about the possibility of not receiving accreditation?
Click to expand...
Yes I did apply to UF. I went to one of the information sessions and she seemed weirdly nervous about not having people apply because of the accreditation issue, so maybe that will help our odds. She said that there should be no reason that they don't get accredited, because they are currently a top 10 program and UF allocates a lot of resources towards getting programs accredited. I have faith that they will get accredited, but it still makes me a little uncomfortable.

Has anyone heard back from Washington University (St. Louis) or University of Pittsburgh about admission into their OTD programs?

I have literally heard nothing from Washington University!

I know they said that they were a bit behind on things, but I'm surprised it's taken them this long considering they have gotten back fairly early in past years.

What concerns me is the fact that everything went through the OTCAS except for the GRE and how I had to email them to make sure that they recieved everything. The least they could do is just shoot us a conformation email that our applications are complete and up for review.

I received an email from them in mid October that my app was under review but yeah surprised that they're a month behind from last year! I emailed them recently and they said they'd begin sending out decisions by the end of November so realllly hoping to hear back this week!! WUSTL is my top choice but I have interviews for other schools in December so it would be nice to hear back from them soon and give up those interview slots for other people

I'm afraid to call or email again because on their website it says that any correspondence will be considered in your application decision. I was at an interview and mentioned it to another girl and she said she had applied in August and hers still said incomplete too.

Whoa I’ve never heard of a school doing that. They really don’t want you guys bothering them. That’s intense

I applied months ago and only just heard back this afternoon saying that my application was marked complete and was being moved to review. So, I think they just work REALLY slowly! Don't stress!

Hey guys I am wondering if people have heard back from the following schools! Cleveland State University, San Jose State University, or Midwestern Downers Grove? I just feel like it is so odd that I haven't received anything at all!

Applied to Midwestern too and the only thing heard back was about their portal being created and that the application was recieved and is in review. My cousin graduated from there a year ago and when she applied she heard back within a month or so.

Yah I mean I applied to midwestern glendale and the response time was so quick. I think I was invited for an interview 3 days after applying. That is why it is so confusing to not hear back from them for two months. Every time I email them, I am just told that they are still in the process of reviewing my application. Hopefully that means that I have a chance of getting an interview! I hope that they would let us know asap if we are rejected!
