University of St. Augustine?

Does this school have a good reputation? Also, is their type of accreditation equivalent to that of a public university? I am interested in their program on the Florida campus, and would love to hear the opinions of others who have visited or been a part of their program. I noticed that they do not accept certain types of loans such as the federal PLUS loan, which does not help out in paying for their costly private school tuition. However, I do like the fact that their MOT program is not as lengthy as many and they accept applicants at multiple times throughout the year. Any opinions on whether this school is a good one to consider?

Also, are faculty members at this school actively involved in any type of research? I noticed on one website that they are not, and I was wondering if this is true.

I am going to give you some basic information in my opinion:

negatives:
EXPENSIVE- nearly 70,000 in tuition alone.
not your typical university- campus is extremely small and is practically a joke.

pluses:
apparently has a great program.
teachers and faculty apparently get to know you very personally which some universities do not care for.
easier to get in with a lower gpa
accepts every semester

Thanks for the reply! The cost of tuition at this school does worry me. I was also wondering if some might see them as more of a "degree mill" type of school since they are private, small, and easier to get into. However, I do like the fact that I would be able to begin sooner and graduate sooner from their program compared to other programs that I have looked at. Im debating whether the opportunity to start and finish a semester earlier would be worth the extra cost. That's also great that the faculty gets to know students personally.

I went there. University of st. Augustine is overpriced for what you get. It's a hard program but you will be prepared once you're finished. A lot of the teachers are jerks. If I could re-do, I would go to a public school.

Good luck.

It does seem overpriced. That's good that the students are well prepared even though the teachers are jerks. Did you go to the Florida campus?

Was it easy to get a job after graduation? I read in another forum that St. Augustine can be a "party school." Did you feel that way about it? Do you have to do your fieldwork in St. Augustine or can you do it elsewhere?

Thanks!

Hey, I have an interview on march 8th too!

 

[southerngirl100]

Would you guys who have interviews at this school mind sharing your GRE scores, number of shadowing hours, etc.?

Good luck on the interview and please tell us how was your experience. I am planning to apply there once I am done with my prerequisites 🙂

Hope all of the interviews went well! I am thinking that I will apply to this school for the next spring term.

Hi there. I am waiting to hear back after my interview on March 1. I have heard nothing but positive feedback about this school. My step-mother has been an OT for over 25 years and she says that any OT she works with from USA stands out far above the rest. They all really know what they're doing and have no problem letting you know their ideas. The interview was great. I'm just hoping I get in! GRE:300 GPA: 3.7 Obs. Hours: 90

Anyone else out there waiting to hear back for MOT to start in September 2013? ?

Anyone already heard back? 😳

I'm waiting to hear back about my March 1 interview as well. The essay wasn't bad and I feel than my interview went really well, but I'm a little concerned that they said this group had the highest cumulative GPA of any they'd ever interviewed. Just hoping to get in at this point!! Fingers crossed we hear something soon, the waiting is driving me nuts!

I just checked the my.usa.edu link they sent out when I applied and it says I was accepted! I interviewed March 1st, so check yours if you interviewed then too
