74 in the FB group as of today.
SameI have not heard ANYTHING yet!!! AHHHH
... I got the email! I can't freakin' believe it! I'm shocked, honored, and relieved the wait is over... I hope everyone waiting for news hears from the program very soon! I haven't been invited to the Facebook group yet...
Enrollment has started for the summer neuro class. That's all I know. I'm taking it online thru UCLA extension right nowThe only prerequisite course left I need to take is Neuroanatomy, which I plan to take during the summer at SJSU.
I was told that students who have already been accepted in the program will have a guaranteed spot in the course. However, what about students who are waitlisted? Will we have a guaranteed spot in the class as well? What if there is no more room for waitlisted students in Neuroanatomy?
Congratulations! Applying to grad school is definitely an emotional roller coaster!I had been making concrete plans to attend an OTD program and had denied several other schools when I got accepted off of the waitlist today! I am basically abandoning all other plans/daydreams for SJSU because the cost is just so good. So I take it the cohort is 80 students (ish) this year then? I still have several prerequisites to complete over the summer, it will definitely be a crunch

Hello,
Congrats to everyone who received an acceptance into the program! I know it wasn’t an easy feat and I’m sure most of you (if not all) have worked years & years to get there.
I received my rejection letter at the end of March and I was heartbroken but I know I was at a disadvantage not having my application in until January 4th. I wanted to seek advice/tips/suggestions from those of you who got in the second time around. Since applying, I’ve taken another pre-req (received an A), and I’ve begun shadowing a pediatric OT. I’m also going to re-do my personal statement and hope to get an additional LOR from an OT. And of course, I will be sure to have all of my materials in by 10/1 this time around. I’ve tried emailing the graduate assistant, asking if I can sit down with someone to review any weak spots in my application that I can improve upon but haven’t heard a response back (that was a little more than a month ago). Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated! And my stats are below
BA from UC Davis
3.55 GPA in last 60/90
3.75 Pre-req GPA (just need to complete neuroanatomy)
156v/153q/4.5w
50 hours with home health OT (geriatrics)
100 hours with a school OT at an elementary school
50 hours with a Physician Asst at a hospital
3 letters: Chemistry professor, PA I shadowed, employer at current job (non-OT/health care related job)
I had a few people review my personal statement (including an OT I shadowed with) and received great feedback.
Thanks & congrats again!
