Anyone know anything about Findlay's MOT weekend program? Sounds interesting if I don't get accepted anywhere.
I am also in Ohio and considered Findlay. Like you I can't recall why I ruled it out. I see if I can find any emails I exchanged with them. I want to say some requirement weekend program I didn't fit... Will look and see.An OTA that worked where I did some observation hours was enrolling in Findlay for this fall. Not sure if it's only for OTAs?? I'm from Ohio but I ruled it out for some reason that I don't recall, that may have been why.
I applied to Ohio State, Cleveland State, and Toledo in the state, and all over the southeast - Belmont, WSSU, Temple, MUSC, and East Carolina. Most likely going to go out of state, which stings financially, as you obviously get by applying all out of state! I was kind of disappointed that there weren't more options in Ohio. I guess there's Xavier too, but I ruled it out for some reason that I forget. Ohio has some other strong universities that don't have an OT program, like OU, Kent, even Akron! I wish we had more in-state options - just next door in PA there are SO many programs!
I also applied to Toledo, Belmont, Winston Salem, MUSC except that it was for last year's application cycle.
I really do wish Ohio had more options as well. Shawnee State and Cleveland State are so heavy on the science prerequisites that I just couldn't afford to add them to the list of classes to take!
Thanks for the luck! Yep, this cycle went much better. I was accepted to Unv. of Pitt. I am still waiting to hear back from other schools as well.I totally forgot about Shawnee state as well, which I crossed off my list of potential programs early on for some unknown reason. I was fortunate that Cleveland State accepted most of the classes I have taken - my roommate was going to apply to their PT program but they wouldn't accept the same Physiology class from our school but the OT program does? Weird. I'm only taking one extra class for them, Neuroscience, which luckily I have room for in my last quarter of undergrad and even if I don't go there I feel that taking that course would be beneficial for any OT program. I didn't take physics though, and frankly didn't want to, so that was the main thing that narrowed down my options. How funny that I applied to a lot of the same programs you did! Sorry they didn't seem to have worked out for you though 🙁 I hope you have much better luck this cycle!

When do you hear back from Cleveland State? I think I recall Shawnee and Cleveland State's deadlines were early. Oh how I wish all schools had the same deadlines across the board!! It gets so confusing.
