General Admissions & OTCAS Percentage of acceptance in occupational therapy

[LeggOT]

Does anyone know the overall percentage of students accepted into OT schools across the US or at least know the percentage of a few individual schools? Just want to see what my chances are.

One school (WSSU) that I'm applying to said they have 800-1000+ applicants for 28 seats (using OTCAS). Another that doesn't use OTCAS (UNC) has around 250 applicants for 24 seats. OTCAS may be your friend in the application process, but these schools are the ones that get more applicants!

Wow that's helpful! Do you happen to know what the overall acceptance percentage is for OT school is? I saw that med school is that 40 percent of applicants get in, but when I look at OT acceptance rates per school its usually around 8-15 percent. That's extremely competitive!
