Hello everyone,
It may seem like a long time from now, but OTCAS applications will be opening up in less than two months. I'll be starting a thread for applicants to share their stats, questions, etc. with each other as a way to (hopefully) ease some of the anxiety that comes along with this process. I'm based in California and will be applying to every MOT program here. Here are some of my stats:
University: UCLA
Major: Psychology
Minor: Philosophy
Overall GPA: ~3.65 (I transferred from a CC, and my GPA there was about a 3.9. Not exactly sure how OTCAS will combine the two.)
Pre-Req GPA: 4.0 (taking one more class at a CC this fall semester)
GRE: Taking next Friday
Top Choice: CSUDH
Volunteer hours: 20 hours at a hippotherapy clinic, 40 hours at a pediatric clinic inside an LAUSD school, and 20 hours at the inpatient rehabilitation center inside my school's main hospital.
Related experience: Worked as a valet attendant at my school's hospital for 2 years, and was involved with my school's pre-ot club.
That's about it, for now. I know my stats aren't the best, but I'm hoping to have a good shot. I'd really like to hear from others!
