Does anyone know when Thomas Jefferson will start interviews?
Thanks! I submitted my application around the first week of October and it was verified by OTCAS on November 8. Then I received an email from them asking to send my GRE scores. I am not entirely sure if I want to go here, I didn't think I was going to get in and this was my first acceptance!
Thanks OT24! Here are my stats:
Major: Biological Sciences and Fashion and Textile Management, French minor
Overall GPA: 3.26
Experience: I did about 200 hours in 4 different settings. I also volunteered and did research while in college and I was very active in a group on campus for four years.
GRE: 149V, 148Q, 4.0 A
I don't think my stats are impressive as others, but I was very determined and worked very hard. My personal statement may have also been a factor as well. I also have two interviews with ATSU and Touro (NV).
I'm sure you will hear from them soon! I was so scared I wasn't going to get in anywhere, also I called to confirm there was no interview for those still wondering.
Is there a particular reason why you wanted to go to this school? I was debating whether or not to go here since the cost of living is so high compared to other cities. I heard that it doesn't matter where you go to school for OT but my friends tell me I should go to a school that is ranked high. I have always lived in NC and never lived on my own so I thought this would be a good experience for me.
I applied in October and sent in my supplemental application almost two months ago. It seems a little weird that I haven't hear yet considering that other people have been notified that were verified after me...do you guys think I should call them to make sure everyone is in place and there were no issues with OTCAS or something? I am also waiting on UPitt and haven't heard a peep from them either.
I'm on the same boat as you =( Maybe we should give them a call..I applied in October and sent in my supplemental application almost two months ago.

Did you ever hear back from them after sending the supplimental app? I know they sent me an email with an attached .pdf which explained that my app was being passed on to the committee. Either way, I would probably give them a call to check up -- couldn't hurt.
Yeah I called him a couple days ago and he said I would probably hear on Thursday or Friday. I have a feeling its going to be a no for me too. I got into a local small school though so I am planning on going there
Thank you for your interest in the Entry Level Masters in Occupational Therapy Program at Thomas Jefferson University.
Although you may have applied through OTCAS earlier in the season, your application became officially complete with Jefferson during the last 5 weeks.
I want to take this time to inform you that the Entry Level Masters Program in Occupational Therapy at Jefferson is full for the fall of 2013 and we are not offering any more acceptances. Jefferson Occupational Therapy practices a rolling admissions policy and we encourage students to apply early:
http://www.jefferson.edu/health_professions/admissions/apply_results.cfm
http://www.jefferson.edu/health_professions/admissions/deadlines/review_periods.cfm
OTCAS is in the process of shutting down the OTCAS application and we are currently updating our website to inform prospective students of this development.
Going forward, applications will receive one of two decisions: wait list of denial.
1) If you are interested in having your application reviewed, please email me and confirm.
2) If you are no longer interested in the program, please email me and we can remove your application for consideration.
If we do not hear from you by Friday, March 1st at 2:00 p.m. EST we will assume that you are no longer interested in the EMOT program at Jefferson and your application will be withdrawn.
If you would like to apply for the class beginning in September 2014 the OTCAS application will go live in early July. Although we cannot defer your application or save your application for the next review cycle I would be more than happy to assist you in the admissions process. Jefferson practices rolling admissions and we generally start reviewing applications in September and making offers for our programs in November.
If you have any questions about our waiting list I have attached some information.
Please understand that the attached information is for educational purposes only and your admissions decision has not been officially decided.
Sincerely,
Don Sharples
FYI to anyone wondering. Got this email today. The attachment also stated that no one has been accepted off the wait list as of today.
I would just like to receive something...I literally have not heard from them since September when I submitted my Supplemental application....I mean a denial a waitlist acceptance something....what kind of business is this?? I have already been accepted to two programs but it just seems as though all the programs I applied to on the East coast, which were my preferred demographic haven't told me anything about my status??

So I have concluded that Thomas Jefferson is highly unorganized and probably lost or misplaced my file. I received the email today from "Don" stating that they are no longer accepting any more applications as their program is full and now they are functioning on a waitlist basis...It also stated that I am missing info from my application that could range from missing GRE Scores to the $25 admission fee. Which neither are true considering my file has been listed as complete since early October. The interesting part is I tried to call Don right after I got the email to see if I could get him to admit that they actually just misplace my file, but the call went straight to voicemail stating he will be out of the office all day. I find that to be funny considering the email supposedly came from him. I'll try back tomorrow and see what he says.
I got an e-mail today with my acceptance and a scholarship offer of 20,000 over the two years! I called like three weeks ago and Don said that I would hear in a couple days and then I randomly got the e-mail today. Those of you that haven't heard yet don't lose hope!
Just curious, has anyone received the supplemental app yet?
