What made you decide to choose the OTD over MSOT?

I applied on Sept 19 and received my acceptance into the OTD program Oct. 4th (came to realize it is very expensive). I am hoping and still waiting on MSOT!! fingers crossed 🤞🏼

wow! oct 4 is really early, when did you apply?
Ahhh congrats! That’s amazing!
thank you so so much!!! it means so much 💕💕
congratulations!! i’m so excited for you and can’t wait to meet you!!!
Thank you and same to you!!!!
That's awesome!! I'm so excited for you!!
All these acceptances are so exciting! Congrats!
Ya it does, I assumed it meant that they sent it off to the OT dept. which is why Gigi emailed us, and the status will eventually change.
yes, I got a follow-up email today from Gigi today and I understand now!
Has anyone who has been accepted so far had an update to their San Jose student account? Mine still has the referred to grad dept still. Could it be because their still notifying and waiting till the end of the week to process and then starting more acceptance starting the new week? I know I am overthinking this.
I know me too! it still doesn't feel real. My guess is that it will change when the final transcripts are sent in with a degree posted and any remaining prerequisites completed. And mine does still may "refer to grad department-provisional"
Hi everyone! I submitted my application in late October, but I also recently got accepted in CSUDH, but their semester starts in January. I have already "accepted" my position with them, but I would strongly consider going to SJSU instead if I were accepted, since I am from the Bay Area. I also want to be respectful of CSUDH and not back out on them too close to their semester starting. Would anyone know when I can expect to hear back from SJSU, given that I applied a few weeks after the application opened? Thanks!
Was accepted this past weekend and my application was verified mid October. I'm sure it depends, but maybe expect to hear back the next couple weeks?
Are you referring to mySJSU?
Congrats on your acceptance! Was this for OTD or MSOT? Would you mind sharing your stats for those of us still anxiously waiting?
if you are talking about application status on MySJSU, mine still says "refer to grad department-provisional" is that what yours said before it changed last night?
Gigi smith sends out an email letting you know if you were conditionally accepted.
ok, the only difference with me is that I still have prerequisites I am finishing that are not on the transcripts I have submitted.
does anyone know if there's specific deadline on when we need to make a decision? bc i'm waiting to hear back from other schools tooI did not received an acceptance email (or any other email from SJSU yet), but my status was changed to "Administrative Decision" as well.
Hmm I don't know then, did you already apply to gape, finish all your prereqs and send in your transcripts so all of that is been finalized. I did send Dr Smith an email helping to hear back from her soon on what that means.
I did apply to GAPE, and all my prereqs are completed, other than the Neuroanatomy course. My transcripts have been sent in as well. Once you hear back from Dr. Smith, feel free to let me know! I am curious to know what that means as well lol
yay! congrats!
Thanks!
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew if the international experience was included in the total cost of the program that is posted on their website? I have heard not, but just wanted to be sure. Also, if that is the case, would anyone happen to know the approximate cost of the international experience? (flight, housing, etc included)
yeah i emailed her last friday with a couple questions when i got my conditional acceptance email but still haven't heard back. trying to decide if i should send another soon haha
I have been trying to get an answer for 3 months about a prerequisite ... no luck. The student grad adviser Monique has been trying to help me get an answer, but so far nothing.
If I was you I would contact Mr. Leland Chen he's the one that handles the MSOT graduate intake his email should be on the SJSU MSOT website.
mine still says Refer to Grad Dept
Today is January 16. I believe all administration should be back at the SJSU campus. Has anyone received an update on their status in my SJSU messages for the MSOT program that starts fall 2024? I know that we should be getting a “NEXT STEPS” through my SJSU in order to accept and pay the mandatory fee. I
Hello, yes I have had a status update from referred to grad department to accepted. I was told by Mr. Chen of the MSOT graduate department that around February 5. The “Next Steps” letter will be sent to our SJSU messages in order to officially accept both the SJSU university and MSOT program and pay our mandatory fee. This is so exciting now we need to start looking for places to stay and a roommates!!!
mine still has not been changed.. when was yours changed?
I just emailed Mr. Chen and he responded very quickly. He recommended I check in with the department about this. He said "refer to grad department" means that the OT department has not told the GAPE office if they wish to admit me. (However, I was accepted, which makes this a bit confusing). I know Dr. Smith is participating in the strike and will not be responding to emails. I emailed Monique with the grad department to see if she can help. Hoping it is changed soon like you say!
From previous post of others, theirs had not changed yet. If Anyone else that has been accepted still have referred to grad status still? I believe Monique is a student assistant in the MSOT department she should be able to give you info soon.
Status just changed to accepted!
Hey everyone, if you’re starting in the MSOT cohort fall of 2024 and you’re looking to roommate with people in your cohort I’m open. I’m looking to get something close to campus, my own room and built in study partners and we can all enjoy a lower cost of living by sharing the rent. Just respond to this link and will figure out how to arrange this . I’m sure there are probably duplexes and homes nearby that are far cheaper dividing it amongst us . I look forward to hearing from any of you.
