Hi, I wanted to make a thread to see if anyone has gotten an interview for the Stanbridge MSOT program? I have an interview on Dec 11 and I am super nervous! If anyone has any advice or knows anything about the interviews I would appreciate any help!!

Hey, I submitted my app on Sep 15 and haven't heard back yet. When did you receive the interview invite?

They just called me last Monday the 23rd! Did you ever get confirmation that they received your app? I never got a confirmation email or anything about that so I called and asked about it and left a message for my admissions advisor and then she called me back. So maybe you could try that!

hey there! how did the interview go? and was it through zoom or in person? I just submitted my application on OTCAS so it will probably be a while before I hear back but any helpful info would be great!
 
I got a two calls in November regarding my application and my interest in the school. But aside from that, no interviews or nothing. :/
 
I called the school mid-November to see if they received my application, and they got back to me on 11/23 saying they received it and I will hear from them. I still haven't heard anything from them yet :(.

They tend to be a bit slow cause they are going over the apps and trying to see if the pre-reqs are good. Last year I submitted my app in October and didn't hear back until January to set up an interview for February. It turns out my stats pre-req was too old, so I had to submit a waiver.

So don't worry as long as they received it, it is in the works. I'm sure the pandemic made things even more difficult unfortunately. :(

Thank you! The interview was actually not bad, most questions I feel most applicants can readily answer. The professors are really nice!

When I submitted by application in December, I attended an information session right after and told them I had submitted. I also emailed the admissions director about my application. I would try to do that.

Oh okay! I sent an email to Dorie the admissions rep so hopefully she gets back to me this following week! I'm a little irked that we have to contact them to potentially get an interview. When I contacted them back in November, they said they would follow up with me once they've reviewed my app. Thank you for the help, both of you!

Anybody else going through interviews/received acceptances at Stanbridge? I'm curious to see their admissions process. I have already talked to financial aid and will likely be attending.

Hi! Sorry this doesn't answer your question but I was wondering what the interview and essay were like? My interview is next Friday and I'm pretty nervous.

Sure, I'm glad to help. The interview I had was with two other students. All of you will be asked different questions, whether it's about leadership or how you plan to deal with a certain situation. The professors are really nice and not intimidating at all, so I wouldn't be nervous. After the individual questions, they will have you do a short group collaboration where you will have to put your heads together to answer the prompt (for me it was planning an event). They will then email you a prompt which you will have 45 mins to answer offline, then you scan or take a picture of your essay and email them back. I would also contact your admissions rep for any questions - they have been so helpful to me every step of the way and so great with answering my questions.

Hi everyone! For those who got accepted and plan on attending Stanbridge, what are your reasons for choosing this school? I'm debating if I want to apply to this school but haven't heard much about their program compared to other OT schools in SoCal. Any info will be much-appreciated thanks!
 
Location, high NBCOT pass rate, curriculum, high tech equipment, and also my choices when it comes to location is fairly limited (I can't move). I've also had a pretty good experience so far with the admissions team, they have answered all my questions and were very patient with me. I think there's an info session tomorrow for MSOT, I would check that out.

Thank you so much! I actually attended their info session last year but I'll try to check it out again in case they changed things

I think it went pretty well! Like you said, the professors were so nice and easy to talk to. The other two candidates I was interviewing with were really nice and supportive too so it was overall a great time. Thanks for remembering, I appreciate it! :)

For the individual questions, the other 2 applicants are just listening in and won't be answering the questions I got asked, and vice versa? If so then the group interview is just for the group collaboration afterward?
 
Yes to both, the individual questions will be different for each person.

Hi!
I recently got accepted to Stanbridge and am strongly considering attending. If any of you live around the area, could you tell me a little bit about the neighborhoods and housing? I know California rent is a bit more expensive than from where I'm from but I'm not sure if I'm looking in the right places.
On another note, if anyone else has gotten accepted and wants to talk, let me know! I'm really excited to meet some of you before the program starts.

I live about 35 miles away from Irvine, CA and am prepared to do the commute. SoCal is generally more expensive than most areas, but if you are looking for places Orange County where it is a little more affordable I would consider Fullerton, Anaheim, Garden Grove, Buena Park, Brea or Cypress. Irvine is super expensive - some people get roommates to shoulder the cost. I am excited to meet everyone too, maybe we can create a social media group!

Hi I was accepted into stanbridge and also live about 30 miles away! I agree, Irvine is pretty expensive. Fountain Valley, Santa Ana, and Tustin are other cities that are affordable and nearby.
Please lmk if you decide to make a social media group. It’d be nice to get to know some of you guys beforehand!
