Hi, I have a interview with UAB coming up and wanted to ask if anyone could tell about the interview process. I would greatly appreciate it.

I have an interview Friday as well and I think we all interview on one day so no one's gotten in yet. I haven't found anything online about questions but when I spoke to a UAB faculty member they said to expect situational type of questions!
 
Does anyone know how much the total tuition is? I'm out of state and calculating it to be $160k but that seems very high

I'm in state and it's $62,000 but I heard a student at the interview that's first year say she's out of state and it's 2.5 times normal so that sounds about right

how did the interviews go ?
And have you guys heard of the Academic Common Market where students from southern states can have in state tuition in other southern states ?
 
Well I just read up on ACM and you can only use it if the degree is not offered in your state smh

I think they interviewed a little over 100 and there are 50 slots

They do however reserve 10 spots for the UAB students who are doing their fast track OT program so really they take about 40 from the interviews.
 
If anyone hears anything, will y'all post it on here? I know one of the 1st years said they called people last year the next Thursday so if it's anything like the previous years, I think we should hear something tomorrow or Friday.

So I was talking to a current student at the interview and she said there weren't any fast track students entering our year. I'm not sure if that's true but I thought it was interesting

Hmm that would make the chances better! But when I was talking to a student they said that the writing sample thing was new so They didn't know if that would delay the decision process or not
 
Oh yeah, I didn't think about the writing part. If thats true about the fast track, thats awesome though.
 
Yeah I do not feel strongly about that writing sample I'm hoping that doesn't weigh heavily on us
 
I feel like they made it seem that the writing thing wasn't that big of a deal so I hope it's not
 
I also do not feel confident on the writing part. I was not expecting that and so I hope that wasn't too important.

Me too! The cost is definitely a concern because I'm out of state. It's crazy how they only gave us 72 hours to respond

Other than getting confirmation that they received the letter of intent and deposit, have ya'll heard anything else or gotten anything in the mail from UAB?

Who did you get an email from regarding them receiving your letter of intent? I dropped mine off at their office a couple of days after receiving the initial email but I never received a confirmation email.

I don't know if they sent everyone a confirmation but I had mailed mine in so I was worried that it didn't get there and I had called one morning to check to make sure it was received and got an email from Elaine Satterfield later that day stating they had received it. I was just expecting to get a packet in the mail by now or something

Yes I'm definitely surprised we haven't heard anything else!
 
Have any out-of-staters found resources for tuition assistance? I loved UAB but honestly the price is steering me away :(

They told me I can get loans. I've been researching the Academic Common Market though. It's confusing because UAB's OT program is listed as approved for students from Texas, but not under Florida where I live currently. Texas has 8 OT programs and we only have 4, so if they are eligible other states should be too
 
Hey I am planning on applying to UAB OT program for next year. Can any of you who got accepted give me any advice on what I could be working on up until application time. What were your stats? I have a 3.96 GPA right now and have little observation hours.

How long did it take to get back to you after the interview? Also, how much is the deposit? I have an interview coming up at the end of this month

Did you ever hear anything back about tuition prices? I have an interview on the 26th but I won’t go if tuition is over $100k like it seems like for out-of-state :(
 
The tuition was about $130k and they don't offer much in the way of scholarships :( I didn't end up attending UAB but I had a great interview experience there! Feel free to message me if you have questions.
