General Admissions & OTCAS OTD 2024-2025 Cycle

[plmrfutureot]

Hi everyone!
This is my first post and I haven't seen a thread for this yet but I wanted to start one for everyone's updates on the application process this round! I copied and posted these from a former thread but if you're comfortable feel free to respond to this : )
1. Overall GPA
2. Dream / Target school
3. Schools applied to
4. Schools interviewed with
5. School acceptances
6. One or two interview questions (list the school asking the question). Whether it was video or in-person.

For me:
1. 3.53/4.00 GPA (About a 3.9 pre req GPA)
2. My original dream school was Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, but have been considering Boston and Pittsburgh as of late...
3. Boston University (interview), University of Pittsburgh (accepted), Medical University of South Carolina (waiting for response), and Duke University (waiting)
4. I have an async video interview with Boston due 11/1, but have been too anxious to take it as of yet (any tips??)
5. I got accepted into Pittsburgh on 10/24!

Good luck everyone!

Hi! Have you heard from MUSC yet?

I applied early but never heard back so I assume I was deferred for regular...? Did you end up hearing back?

 

[futureot1212]

1. 3.89 from my undergrad (3.81 for OTCAS cumulative undergrad)
2. UTMB
3. UTMB, UTEP (El Paso), and UTHSA (San Antontio)
4. Interviewed for UTMB 10/25, 12/13 for UTHSCA (UTEP doesn't do interviews)
5. Accepted to UTMB!
6. My interview was in-person and we can't share specific questions, but a good general one is to know what drew you to the field of OT and why you want to go to that school's specific program!

Hi! Have you heard from MUSC yet?

Unfortunately no Two of my friends heard back on the 30th and got in. I emailed Dr. Smith the same day to see if she had any updates and she just told me I had to wait until the 31st, but I never heard back.

4. Rush 11/1, Elmhurst 11/15, UTMB 11/22, TWU 11/25

I hope your interview went well, I’m rooting for you!! Don’t even sweat the UTMB interview mine was very relaxed are you interviewing in person or online for them?

Thank you so much!! That’s awesome to hear, I’m looking forward to it. I wish I could’ve gone in person but timing didn’t line up so I am interviewing online! Wishing you the best as well!

 

[vfutureotb]

I applied to Rush!! I interview with them next week, how was yours?

Yayy!! Wishing you luck!! It was very good and they made us feel very comfortable. The small group aspect honestly took some pressure off imo… make sure you prepare your answers to the q’s such as why OT and why RUSH! You got it
