Has anyone heard back from Towson yet?

 

[LoveOT2017]

I have not heard anything back from Towson yet. Please post when you do and I will do the same!

Just got an email saying they concluded their initial review and should receive and email around the 12th on if im invited to an interview or not. Says interviews will be around the 20th or 21st if invited!

I got the same email as LoveOT2017 and will be going on the 21st for the small group interview discussion!

What time did you sign up for? I'll be at the last session, the 1:00 one, on the 21st. 🙂 Excitement and nerves galore!

I’m signed up for the 11am slot on the 20th. Did anyone receive the email that confirmed the interview time and additional information about the interview? They said it would be sent out today, but I haven’t received it yet.

 

[LoveOT2017]

I will also be interviewing on the 20th at 11AM. I did receive the confirmation email today around 5PM.

This is a last minute reply, but I am in the 11am interview session!

Does anyone have an idea of when we will hear back now that the interviews are complete? Looks like last year it took about two weeks for decisions to be emailed...

I’m pretty sure they said they will try to get decisions out by the end of this month!

 

[OTOTOTOT]

Has anyone heard an update on your prerequisites? I thought they said we would get an email sometime this week letting us know if they still need anything from us/what prerequisites we still need to complete, but I could be wrong!

I was also told the same! A week after my interview last Wednesday at the latest they said. I think i’ll call and see what’s going on.

 

[eeveefellows]

We were told everyone would most likely be notified by email today!!

I called and I heard the same thing. Today is when we will hear from them, but not necessarily about decisions.

I was accepted! Anyone else?

 

[OTOTOTOT]

I was accepted too!!! 🙂

 

[LoveOT2017]

I got accepted too! Congrats everyone!

 

[OTOTOTOT]

Congratulations everyone! I was actually waitlisted. I am a bit surprised because it was a little unexpected for me, but it is probably due to my less than optimal performance during the interview . I have heard from the previous application years that many classmates have been on the waitlist at one point, so i’m keeping my hopes up!! If not, I might have to turn to Columbia or NYU, but I was really hoping to stay instate.

Hang in there.. I heard the same thing about people from the waitlist getting in, so there is hope for you! Keep thinking positive!!

I got waitlisted also. Going to call to see where I’m on the waitlist. To the ones who got accepted what date do you have to accept by. I’ve been accepted into an out of state program but would rather stay in state.

We have until Sunday April 8th to accept or deny the admission.

We were asked to respond before midnight of April 8th. At least you know you have another option!

Add me to the waitlist limbo :/ I'm glad you have another option (even if it's less preferred). If you call to inquire where you are on the waitlist and feel comfortable sharing, I would be interested in hearing how specific they are. In previous years, it sounds like they told people "top third," "middle third," and "bottom third."

I've been accepted as well! Does anyone know if a Facebook group has been created?

Congrats on being accepted! I don’t think anyone has created a Facebook group yet.

Search “Towson University Masters of Occupational Therapy Class of 2020” and it should come up!!

 

[OTDC2018]

I spoke with Brianna in the OT department last week and she mentioned that she would be sending out follow-up emails this week concerning required documentation and other items, like CPR requirements, etc., for the incoming class...did anyone receive an email this week like this?

I just got off the waitlist !!!! I’m in and there’s hope for other waitlisters!

Congrats! So glad you get to stay in-state like you wanted! Thank you for letting us all know. Really really really hoping that I’ll be joining you 😉

Stats for those accepted?

Thank you, that means a lot! I hope that you will be joining as well!!! It seems that the deadline for giving a decision is every Sunday. They notified me on Tuesday, so hopefully you just got to wait for the next wave of applicants that turn down their position!
