I interviewed Sept. 4th and was accepted the 10th! Who else from the first interview date will be attending? Who else is interviewing/ applying?
How early did you apply? And what are your stats if you don't mind me asking.
I have an interview coming up for the Downer's Grove campus. What was the interview process like?
Also, congratulations!!!
My OTCAS was verified 8/8
Basic Stats:
GPA 3.51
Shadow Hrs. 60 in 5 settings (I found was relatively low compared to others, I would recommend more)
Volunteer 45 Hrs. Special Olympics + 150 Hr. Internship
Thanks! and congrats on getting in! Do you know how filled the class is? or were you the first round of acceptances..
Congratulations on your acceptance! I just submitted my application but I'm waiting for it to be verified. I was also wondering how full the class is already.
OTbrofromCO Did you apply for any other programs? What are your impressions of the program and campus after your interview?
How much time passed from the time your app was verified to the time Midwestern contacted you for an interview?
From what I hear the early bird gets the worm! I wouldn't procrastinate. Your chances are what you create for yourself. I'm a total underdog in this hunt. I'm old, established in Arizona, and have all my eggs in one basket. I made stupid decisions when I was younger with not dropping classes that have affected my GPA and I only have shadowing experience in one area. I had hoped to get my app in sooner but had difficulty getting one of my references motivated...but, I'm going for it, I am passionate about the career, and am determined to get in even if it doesn't happen this cycle. I really really hope it does happen this cycle because again...I'm old.That's a fast response! I'm applying as well but have yet to submit my application to OTCAS.. I'm hoping to hear some acceptances so I know my chances.
Crossing fingers and toes!!!Only 8 days.

Good luck! What are your stats if you don't mind me asking.
Your stats are impressive and you've definitely demonstrated growth by getting a 4.0 and participating in so many volunteer activities. I can't imagine that your "community college mistakes" will hold you back. Good luck!!Overall GPA: 3.13 (Graduated with a 4.0 from ASU but Community College mistakes are what hit me hard)
OT/Health Related Hours: 92 all in a pediatric setting
Volunteer Hours: 15,000+
Degree: B.S in Family and Human Development
I interveiwed the 4th and also got acceptance on the 10th. Looks like we are going to be classmates.

Get some volunteer hours in other settings to strengthen your application
What are your stats if you don't mind me asking! Congrats on your acceptance!
Correct. What part of SJ you live in?Thanks! Midwestern only calculates overall GPA right?
San Jose, CA! Are you from here too?
otsomeday! Do you currently know of anyone in your cohort that got in with a 3.2 gpa?
And, did you apply to sjsu?
Well my GPA was 3.4
--Your personality and impressions on the staff are more important than grades on the interview.
I did not apply to SJSU because of the GRE.....
Hi all. I have recently considered applying for Midwestern and I was wondering (before I bug the admissions), if anyone knows what classifies as the "social and behavior science" pre-req? I am from CA and I'm not sure if Psyc classes or sociology classes cover this pre-req.. thanks!!
OTbrofromCO! Did you apply to AZ or IL!? I called AZ admissions and they claim they haven't done any interviews let alone any acceptances yet.
So, I graduate with my undergrad in December but plan on applying within the next few weeks to MWU.. Does anyone know if they accept students with their degree still in progress?
Whoa! They already did interviews? OTCAS says they don't start till October! Still waiting to hear from downer groves on whether or not i got an interview!
Hi Mariv,
I actually have an interview at Midwestern on Wednesday. It seemed like I have the first interview date since there was only one day available and it said that more dates will be available soon. I submitted my otcas application late July or early August and they emailed me in early-mid September I believe.
For the Illinois campus??Hi Mariv,

Yes the Illinois campus.For the Illinois campus??
Yes the Illinois campus.
I recieved an email inviting me to an interview, but was told to login on their website and choose a date. I'll let you know how everything goes
I read these forums frequently and haven't yet seen anyone else posting about an interview at the Downer's Grove campus, so I'm sure they have many more interviews to come!
I hope so!Can i ask your stats?
Good luck!!! Maybe we'll be classmates!
