That's exciting!! I'm curious about their process too. Do you mind sharing your stats? 
Of course! I am actually a very average student.. 3.38 GPA, on the GRE I only got a 189 total. I went and found myself a tutor and worked my butt off and that is still the highest I could hit. Im not a great test taker though. Barry does not require a "minimum" GRE score, they just want you to do your best. I only took it twice because I decided that I wanted to spend more time focusing on the things that could potentially compensate for those weaker areas. I really focused on my essays and made sure I got good references. I have a lot of volunteer work to show for in OT and I currently work in a doctors office, which I know Barry gives priority to applicants that have medical experience. Im really nervous for the interview though! I've never had a real interview believe it or not...do you have any tips or suggestions for me?Congratulations @KnightsAlum

Hope this helps!
Hopefully, we both get in! Sounds like you are a great candidate! It's not easy getting OT shadow/volunteer hours but you have a lot... not to mention great references which is a big plus! I think you'll do great in the interview since you have plenty of background and are knowledgeable about the field. Google potential OT interview questions... If i can find the link I did before I'll upload it for you. Almost 100% chance they'll ask you why you chose OT, what you learned/challenges while shadowing so be comfortable with your answers there. Try to have a couple questions at the end of the interview for them that shows you specifically know their program (look back on their website). It's a super short interview so they may not have too much time to go into great depth but try to tell them what you told me about tests not being an accurate measure of your ability and how you shine elsewhere I heard it's good to dress professionally but not be overdressed (more dressed up then the interviewer)... other people like to wear suits so I think it depends on your personal preference. I hope that helps some Let me know how your interview goes!Congratulations friend!!! thats so awesome to hear! Do you think if all goes well, that Barry will be where you decide to go? I made a "study guide" of typical questions that I'm assuming they will ask me and have been studying it. How are you feeling about it? I just bought an outfit for it today. You'll have to let me know how yours goes as well! thanks for the help!Thank you, it does help! Luckily I was called for an interview today too
How about you friend, will you definitely go? I may use this interview as an excuse to go shopping even though I could pretty much wear any of my work clothes, lol Keep us posted on your interview experience I'm really interested to hear how it went! Please share how your interview goes tomorrow! Good luck!!!! 
They will only ask two questions. : )
How long did they say it would be before you hear whether or not you got in? Good luck!
They said before April 1st.. but my guess is maybe 2 weeks from now. If I don't get in I will be so depressed. I think my interview went well though.
Do you remember what they were if I may ask? I'm extremely nervous.
Hi friend!!! How did your interview go? I haven't been on here in a while. Mine was Thursday of last week. It seemed to go well, but I honestly barely even remember what my responses were to their questionsHonestly, I haven't been accepted anywhere at all so I'll be happy to attend if they accept me!
It wasn't what I was expecting at all! but it still went well! Seemed kinda laid back in a way. Tell me about yours! I have been checking my email nonstop hoping to hear back from them. If I were to be accepted by them, I would be starting in the summer since I don't have Kinesio, which is extremely soon! There would be so much to do in that small spand of time for me being that I would move down to Miami. Do you have an idea of your plan if you were to go?Hi friend!!! How did your interview go? I haven't been on here in a while. Mine was Thursday of last week. It seemed to go well, but I honestly barely even remember what my responses were to their questions
I need to take kinesiology and it was apparent that they preferred it from Barry so I'd have to start summer also! I think my interview went well too Everyone was so nice there... great experience and nice campus They told me they will try to let me know by April but possibly even in the next couple weeks. Hopefully we get good news soon! I'll let you know if I hear anything It was an awesome experience! I wasn't expecting to have to do a written response to an essay question but luckily it wasn't too difficult. They seemed really sweet and supportive of their students and were really willing to explain how their program works, which was nice. I would assume that the students who still need kinesio and are going to be accepted will hear sooner rather than later because they have to give an appropriate amount of time for the student to figure out their situation, especially if it involves moving and all that. Will you be moving down there if accepted? I will keep you updated for sure! you do the same!!Hi friend!!! I'm in the same boat as you
Did you have to do a written response too?? Now that I think about it, no one on here mentioned having to do that in their interviewHi friend!!! I'm in the same boat as you
I was relieved that it was such a simple open ended prompt You bring up a great point about needing to know sooner since that course would essentially start the program months sooner for those of us missing that prerequisite. I'll have to move closer to the area... Fort Lauderdale maybe? I'm not sure about living in Miami 
I don't really know the area... What are your thoughts?Sure!
Did you find out through email?? Congrats!!
Yes! I received my acceptance today via email, but from what I understand they will send a letter as well.
I think they will hold interviews all throughout March maybe through early April. I was accepted about 2 weeks ago. I know that they will hold interviews until they are full.
They will only ask you 2 questions..just make sure you ask them questions.
Do you have to take Kinesiology?
When was your interview? I wonder if the longer the wait, if thats correlated with us not getting in?
How long did it take to get an admissions decision? I interviewed on the 25th and I think I did pretty well. Hopefully we will become classmates. What were you alls stats for admission?
My interview was on the 25th of February. I came in dressed professionally and ready to handle business. Suit and tie and well spoken. I actually did well on the writing assessment. They seemed to like my answers, but like everyone else, I'm nervous.
Congratulations. When was your interview?
My interview was on 3/21 and I heard back on 3/23. I think a lot has to do if you need the take the class in the summer cause it starts in May and you need to prepare. Stats are GPA: 3.44 Prereq GPA: around 3.7-3.8 (i didn't calculate it) GRE: 310 and around 270 hours in 3 settings
Oh I see. Were about the same. I have taken every course. I think its just the wait that has me on edge.
You will do fine. Just speak with confidence and answer their questions. God will bless us all.
