Yes I did. I have an interview for WCU this month. I was just rejected from USC. I’m still waiting to hear back from Stanbridge and Midwestern! So I’m hoping and praying to just get in somewhere!

Hi guys, I've decided to attend Columbia University! I plan on denying my acceptance to NYU soon, so for those on the waitlist there, hopefully you'll be that lucky person to move up!

For those in Columbia though, is there an online platform to pay the nonrefundable tuition deposit? All i have is the acceptance letter with a bunch of documents and an enrollment form link. I completed the enrollment form, and I expected further instructions on how to go about paying the nonrefundable deposit, but I guess there's no online platform? Do we have to send a check addressed to Columbia to the address provided on the acceptance letter?

I was waitlisted to NYU today 3/5. For the third year in a row...
 
I was also waitlisted to NYU today! Which is kinda strange considering I had an incomplete application... should've been outright rejected but I'll take it!
 
Members don't see this ad :)
How incomplete was it? Cause that makes me give up hope that my waitlist means anything.
 
My OT supervisor never sent in her letter of recommendation and I never sent in my transcript from last semester, which had my A&P I grade on it... I also applied to the OTD program so really super shocked
 
Oh wow, thats really nuts! Hey! Stay hopeful, it may be Gods will.
 
Hi! Does anyone know, perhaps from past students, if NYU offers decent scholarships (merit/need-based, etc)? I've been in contact with the financial aid and admissions departments, and they've told me that we can expect to receive our loans/scholarship package sometime around the end of March. However, they mentioned (and I might've seen from somewhere on these threads) that scholarships may be limited.

Really reallyyy hoping to be able to attend NYU, but with the cost of attendance for the two-tiered program, I'm a bit concerned :/
 
Found out I got into Columbia this morning!!!! I'm not 101% sure i'll be attending as I have to sort some things out in my personal life but I'm super excited at the possibility that I'll be attending CU this fall!!! :)

Hi! Just curious, how many students (M/F) are in your class?
Click to expand...

Hey! Everyone in our cohort of 56 has the same schedule and takes the same classes everyday. However, during the second semester, we get split into 2 groups for 2 of our classes. Hope that helps! :)
 
Is there anyone still waiting to hear back from Columbia? I’ve left so many messages but I haven’t gotten any response yet
 
Hi everyone! I got into Columbia on 4/17 and NYU today, 4/19 after being waitlisted for both schools. I will be passing up my spot since I've already committed to my first choice! Good luck to everyone who is still waiting to hear back!

Congratulations! Just wondering for Columbia, did they email you that you got off the waitlist and did you know your position the waitlist? Also what school will you be attending!
Click to expand...

Thank you! I received an email directly from the OT admissions department about the decision and an official acceptance letter on the application portal, but I have no idea what my spot on the waitlist was. I will be attending SUNY Downstate! :clap:

Hi! This might be early to ask, but does anyone know if there's a Facebook group for the incoming Fall '19 NYU cohort? Or if this is something that's typically created later in the summer? Thanks!

Just got into NYU after being on the waitlist since feb 22! omg these things do happen, I had no clue they'd accept me! I've been having such a hard time picking between the two other schools I've been accepted to (NYIT and Touro, both of which are too far from me) but NYU is so much closer, and it basically has all I needed from a grad prog. I'm also waitlisted at Columbia at this moment but who even knows what'll happen from here lol. Can't wait!

I was also waitlisted since feb 22. Did you reach out to anyone specific on the admissions committee or did you leave your application as is? I am toying with the idea of reaching out I just don't want it to be annoying to the committee

I was thinking of writing a letter of intent, but I had no idea who to send it to if I wanted to. Plus there's also the line in the wait-list response form that said "If you have been wait listed there is nothing additional you need to submit to improve your application". But I'm sure it can't hurt to try. I just don't know who to send it to...maybe Ginelle John from the department?

Thank you! I attended Brooklyn College, 3.84 GPA, and I have a BS in Health and Nutrition Sciences with a concentration of Health Science. I observed in an SNF for around 20 hours, acute rehab in a hospital setting for 100 hours, peds rehab for about 90 hours, and hand therapy clinic for around 67 hours at one facility. My hours were documented as volunteer hours with the hospital, and I had each therapist I observed under confirm and sign the hours I spent with them. I had two rec letters: one from my A&P prof, and one from the OT I observed in the acute rehab facility.

Hi! I can't believed that we went to the same college and same major! I believed we might met each other before. Did you interviewed at NYIT on a wednesday, the 12th?
