Hi everyone!

Wanted to start this thread for anyone applying to SJSU this cycle.

How's everyone's application going? I plan on submitting OTCAS as soon as my letters are in and mailing my documents to the department the week before Oct 1st. Would anyone know if it's better to apply to GAPE as soon as you can or if that's something you can comfortably do after completing your application with OTCAS and the OT department?

Feel free to share your progress and ask any questions. Hopefully we can all help each other in some way 🙂
 
Hi, do you happen to know how many pages/words we should write for a personal statement?

Sent in my application today! Fingers crossed 🤞🏽
 
Hi everyone! I have sent in my GAPE and OTCAS applications, so my application is now complete. I am so nervous. Will be updating!
 
hey everyone ! has anyone heard anything or heard when we might be hearing something ?
 
Yes! Best of luck everyone! This is my second time applying. The first time; I sent it in right before the deadline for Fall 2025 round. Then I heard back from Gigi that the spots were all taken by January 😭😭😭😭.
This time I sent my application on October 1st! 🤞🏽

Hi @krysthehopefulOT! I'm so sorry that happened to you but it was nice of Dr. Smith to let you know! At least you had everything ready for Oct 1st this year! I sent mine in on 10/23... I was still wrapping up the community service hours in the beginning of the month. From the info call in Sept it seemed like a lot of applicants were aiming for 10/1 submission, so I hope I wasn't too late. Good luck to all of us!
 
Hi Friends! I asked our graduate advisor when we may hear back and she said, “Our master's program is undergoing reaccreditation, which has delayed Dr. Smith's review of the applications. She is hoping to begin sending acceptance letters later this month.”
 
Anybody hear back? Looking over the previous threads from the last cycle, folks started to hear back around now.
 
Not yet! Came here to ask the same thing! Has anyone heard from other programs? I was accepted to one program that wants a deposit by Jan 9th - wondering what to do in case SJSU doesn't let us know by then..might have to put down a deposit to save my spot there just in case..

no worries !

i applied oct 1 and had a GPA of 3.8. bachelors degree with psychology and two AA with psychology and kinesiology.
hours: almost 180 hours. like 80 at a pediatric and 120 from an adult
prerequisites: all done and average of 3.7 GPA
LOR: 1 from professor, 1 from work supervisor, 1 from OT at internship
in my personal statement i added that i personal experiences with the adult and pediatric clinic. also added that i am a teacher aide that deals with special needs kids. i dont remember what else there is but essentially this was my application
 
I wanted to ask the group before I went ahead and did it. So last year, I applied at the very end of the window to apply. I didn’t hear back for a while. I finally got a hold of Gigi around May who had let me know that the whole program was full by February. Do you think that I should just go ahead and email her and ask her when we should all hear back by? Like should we all know if we got in or not around February or do you think it’s in bad taste?
 
maybe wait till mid january or more end of january. mostly because they’re on winter break right now and spring semester doesn’t start until end of january so it would be difficult to reach anyone
