Reapplying possibility

I was dismissed because of in part a health condition causing tardiness. Will the fact that I was "officially dismissed" prevent me from applying to other universities if I get my GPA up?
This sounds like a ridiculous question, but this actually happened.

Also, do OTA programs accept people with partial MOTs (incomplete)?

This is for real

@Civilization502:

The answer to both depends on the program. Many programs do not accept those who attended but did not complete entry-level OT programs due to the cohort nature of these programs. You are best advised to contact individual programs of interest and to cast a wide net.

Best of luck to you.

After work experience that shows I have worked on my flaws, a high GPA in an OTA program, and recommendations from work supervisors that support my candidacy, what do you think is the likelihood of me being readmitted to complete a full program to get a masters

Things I will have in my favor
hig GPA in cota program
work experience in occupatuional therapy
time management skills
testing accomodations, not accomodation for the practicum or client interaction

things that are barriers
bad review from prior school in terms of academics the third semester
low GPA for the last semester of grad school (3rd semester) but high GPA for the first and second semesters (3.8,3.3)

I dont want to ask specific programs because I don't want to make a name for myself

@Civilization:

It is very difficult to tell how you will fare, and universities that accept federal financial aid cannot discriminate based on disability, which you would not necessarily disclose on application.

Certainly in these times when we have more applications than spots, programs can be very selective and the criteria are often mostly academic in nature. The best thing to do is to become the most competitive you can be on GPA and work on personal statements and other requirements.

Best of luck!
