Hello All!!!

I have just been accepted into Howard University's Fall 2021 Cohort for OT, and I am looking for other future students within the program. Please respond to this thread if you are currently in the interview process or have also received your acceptance letter as well. I would like to get a GroupMe or group on Facebook started especially to talk about living situations.

I look forward to meeting all of you guys very soon!!

Thank you, and congratulations to you too! All I can say is just be yourself. Know why you're choosing this program (OT and the university). I was VERY nervous but I just spoke from what I know specifically about OT and what my future plans are and that helped. I would also say have questions to ask at the end of your interview.

Hey!!! Sorry it took me a while to reply, but I haven't heard back from them about paying the deposit. A groupme/Facebook would be nice, but honestly, I am considering another school that I was recently accepted to because it's closer to home!

I emailed them but they were saying how they're still getting ID numbers for everyone. I have created the facebook, (Howard University OTD Fall 2021) if you would like to join it. I do understand about staying close to home especially at the expense of this program. I wish you good luck on your OT endeavors!
 
I also sent a request to be in the FB group! I'm choosing between 3 schools and it's so hard lol.

Thank you! I wish you good luck as well, and I received an email from them today! I also submitted a request to the group just in case.

Don't be. It was about two weeks for me too and the day I was going to email otadmissions during my lunch break they emailed me my acceptance letter.

Being an OT has always been my dream and I’m happy to be going to the prestigious Howard university .

Hello everyone! I’m interested in applying to Howard’s program from the fall 2022 school year. My cumulative falls below a 3.0 but my prerequisites gpa is a 3.5. Does anyone think I’d have a chance? Do they look at your application holistically? I’ve tried to email them or call the program but nobody answers
 
Just FYI a lot programs their first semester is 18 hours with Anatomy and Kinesiology. It’s usually your hardest semester. This is grad school!
