General Admissions & OTCAS Occupational Therapy Programs That Accept the MAT test

[Makingmoves2014]

Good Afternoon!
I was wondering if anyone knows if any occupational therapy programs that will accept the MAT test. I believe that I will score better on Miller Analogies Test. I'm scared to death of succeeding in occupational therapy school. Has anyone failed out of a program. Has anyone failed the boards? People are telling me its so hard.

Hey Makingmoves, PM me. I'm in the same boat so we could help each other out!

I know three programs in the Philadelphia are that do: Thomas Jefferson University, Temple University, and Salus University!

Any chance you guys know of other schools? I took mine today, and got a 454. From what I've read, it puts me in the 98th percentile? Anyway, my gpa is only around a 3.5 and my prereqs maybe a 3.7/3.8, so I could use the boost to my app somewhere!

I think SJSU accepts it too. Did you take the GRE also?

Yeah, they do. Nah, it's too much money for me and I'd have to relearn a lot of math. I never even took pre-calc.

How much does it cost to take the MAT?

It was $75 for me. It's only an hour, and I was able to take it in a room alone (unlike the GRE, where I've been in a room with multiple people, which is somewhat distracting, imo). I don't know if it makes any difference to programs that accept both exams.. but the GRE opens up your options to more schools since most programs accept only GRE.

Mine was 75 as well, but I took it in the computer lab with other people. Anyway, Idaho state also accepts or, I guess. Seems not very useful unless you apply to Philly area schools...I'll be applying to Salus abd TJU as of now. Since I'm out of state, I doubt Temple would be worth the competition.
