Thread to discuss updates on applications for Stony Brook's OT program beginning summer 2019.

I had an interview with Stony Brook mid-december. Had anyone heard back yet?
 
I haven't heard back yet. The wait is killing me!
 
also still waiting! I emailed Sarah a while ago and she said by the end of January but still such a painful wait
 
Still waiting as well! I interviewed on December 14.

I've tried calling but it always goes to voicemail
 
Dec 14th, what about you

Sarah told me that there was a delay due to staff being away, so hopefully we’ll all get a response soon
 
Hey guys, I've been emailing Sarah the past couple of weeks since it was taking forever to receive the official acceptance letter. She emailed me back saying that the same thing, that there was a delay due to staff being away. I finally received it today, so I hope you guys hear back within the next couple of days!

Thank you! Some questions that were asked were definitely a little challenging and required more thinking than other questions. I remember they asked "Define professionalism and how it applies to OT", "What qualities do you need to be an OT", "Pick a health career and describe how it's similar and different to OT". There was one question that was so long and had about four parts to it and I completely blanked out, but they don't judge you for being nervous, they expect it! What really helped me was preparing beforehand. I went through past forums and wrote down potential interview questions on index cards and just rehearsed, just to get a sense of what to talk about. Also, talk about your experiences whether it's your job or volunteer hours, they want to hear that. If you show passion and you know what you're talking about, you'll be high on their list of people to accept. Good luck!!

I can't imagine they invite every single person that applies for an interview. That would be a lot of people if they did, but then again I'm not completely sure.

Thank you! Sarah called me around 5:30 PM on January 15th but I missed the call. She left me a voicemail and I tried to call back but she had left the office already. She called me back the next day around 11:30 offering admission. I'm hoping you hear back soon!

I emailed Sarah a few weeks ago and she told me hopefully within the next few weeks. I also received a call from the dept saying that if I don’t get an email this month to call next month. I’ve been waiting almost two months already 🙁.

Did you call the department to let them know you wanted to find out or? I’ve been waiting exactly 2 months now also! So stressful.

Yes I got accepted into 1 already as well thankfully but I will lose out on my deposit if I don’t hear from Stony Brook before March ! I applied to NYiT, Hofstra, and Touro and of course SBU. What about you?
