I am wondering if anyone who applied for Midwestern IL 2015 hear back? I just received an email that my file was complete.
Congrats! When did you submit your application and when did you get called in for an interview?Hi,
Midwestern started interviews in early October. I believe they will hold interview dates once or twice a month up until they have all 50 students enrolled. If you are a qualified candidate they will probably contact you for an interview within a few weeks. I interviewed recently and was accepted, so if you have any questions you can send me a message.
Good luck!

I submitted in early August and they offered me an interview in September. I have a 3.9 GPA, 150+ observation hours, and I currently work as a chirpopractic/physical therapy assistant. Just keep checking your emails and hopefully you will get an interview
I also volunteer at a food bank regularly and I have been working since I was 16. I worked at Goodwill for four years so I talked about working with people with disabilities and disadvantages; what I learned from it and that I enjoyed it. I did my own research in school so I included that and a few other extracurriculars but nothing that great or unique. I think they were really interested in my current job since I already work one-on-one with patients in their rehabilitation process.
I am in-state and a traditional student. The other people interviewing were mostly from Illinois but a few were from other states.
I believe I submitted either late July or early August. Waiting for all my LORs and transcripts seemed to take forever! You could either wait until those summer course grades are posted or submit and state that those courses are in progress. If you are likely to get A's in them, it may be better to wait since your GPA would look better.
Just keep getting observation hours from multiple settings, get quality LORs, study hard for the GRE, and you should be fine!

, i haveHi there,
Has anyone heard back from Midwestern recently?
I applied in September but my application was verified in October. I haven't heard from them, only that they received my application...I'm thinking that I wasn't early enough with my application, I know they have a lot of good applicants! I already interviewed and got in to Midwestern in Glendale AZ though. Getting nervous!!
I just received notice that I have been accepted to the MWU program anyone else planning to attend MWU in the Fall?!
Hi. I was just accepted too. Were you at the interview last Wednesday? If so, then I met you. Congrats!
Yes I was there on Wednesday! I was the short brunette lol, not sure if that helps. I remember you, the one with the twins? Congrats on your acceptance!! Will you be attending there in the Fall or are you waiting to hear back from other places still?Hi. I was just accepted too. Were you at the interview last Wednesday? If so, then I met you. Congrats!
Hi OT_2015 and MelissaOT would you guys mind sharing your stats? I'll be applying next fall and I know that the program recieved over a thousand applicants this year so I was hoping to get an idea of what the accepted applicants looked like. Thanks!

OT_2015, have you decided where you will be attending school next year?Yes that's me. I think you were the one seated next to the applicant that just flew in for the interview. I am still waiting on one more school before making a final decision. How about you? Congrats again!
OT_2015, have you decided where you will be attending school next year?
I am just waiting on UIC's decision before I'll be able to decide where I'm going. How about you?
I am waiting on UIC's decision as well. Did you apply to Rush? I have been accepted there so for now am deciding between Rush and Midwestern, I think I am leaning towards Rush though. Anyone else in this position? Or have input on the two programs?
No I didn't apply to Rush only because I still have a prerequisite to take over the summer so I can't start class in June. Congrats on the acceptances! The admissions committee at UIC is meeting next Monday to finalize their incoming class so let's keep our fingers crossed.
Btw, I have a contact at Rush who is a first year OT student. He gave me his contact info just in case I had any questions about the program. If you'd like, I can PM you his contact info. Maybe he can provide you with some insight. Let me know.
