We are in the same boat! I'm a mom too and this would also be a second career for me. If it doesn't work for me this year, I will try again next year, however, if I still don't get in, I will most likely go for a credential in special ed. That was my goal a few years ago, before I discovered occupational therapy.
I think for me it would either be continuing to work as a pharmacy technician at a retail pharmacy or take out loans and go to the private University in San Diego for the MSOT program. I'd like to stay in SJ if possible , but if I can't get in into SJSU MSOT program; then I guess I have no choice.This is my second year applying SJSU, but I am also wanting to expand my options since I just want to be in a school 🙁.

I honestly agreed. It's just suck that everyone here works so hard for their dream and goal, and there is still a high chance of not getting in. I've heard really good things about becoming an X-ray technician. I've worked with a pharmacist whose cousin is an X-ray Tech, and she told me that her cousin makes more than what a pharmacist makes. It's really is crazy!!! Like you said, there is also risk due to potential radiation exposure. For now, I think the best things to do is to wait for SJSU's email or letter and go from there. Would you also considered a private school this cycle? I am debating if I should submit an application to other OT schools too if I don't get into SJSU. Granted I've already got provisionally accepted into a private school in San Diego, but it's a new program so I am really nervous if the program will prepare me well to go into fieldwork.
Not yet! I am constantly checking my email and see if I get in or not. I check almost every 15 minutes since I am very paranoid 🙁
Oh I see! They must have received a lot of applications then. I just don't know if the admissions/rejections letter will be send through mail, email, or both. I hope that all of us get in this cycle because we all going to be amazing OTs.
I got the same answer a few days ago when I emailed about asking clarification about one of the pre reqs.
Not yet for me 🙁
Still waiting...
I think you’re probably right. I also stopped checking the portal, mostly because I was told that I would get an email first anyway.
We've got to have hope 🙂 I do check I email daily but i have stopped checking my portal.. My hope is to work in a school system first, mainly because it would provide me with a schedule that matches my kids', however I would love to work with younger kids as well, maybe even infants so we'll see 🙂
Thank you for this info! I called the office today asked if the cohort has been filled (they said not yet) and if people can expect to hear back next month or March (they replied that sometimes it takes all the way to April to hear back!). Really hoping for all of us who have been waiting since forever to hear back sooner 😭
Thank you guys for the update! Starting to lose hope 🙁 hard to stay hopeful when you don’t know what your future looks like
Nothing at all! It's so weird that none of us here have heard back. I'm wondering how do they sort through the applications and if everyone who have been admitted, applied on October 1st.. We just have to stay positive
I agree! I’m trying to stay busy and preparing as if I already got in. In general, I wish there was legislation that gives a due date for colleges to get back to you. Frustrated. Yet, hopeful! I know either way, I am on my way to becoming an OT and I will keep trying to be one until I am!
no info, feeling the same😕
I’m gonna try to make it too! Hopefully we will hear some solid dates.
