I did notice that!
congrats! how did they notify you?
congrats again!
congrats! when did you get an email for phase 2?
Congrats!!! So exciting! Just curious, when did you submit your application and did they not require you to do the video submission? I guess maybe that's only for certain applicants.
congrats! when did you get an email for phase 2?
Congrats! When did you submit??
Congrats!! I definitely teared up! I just sent in my confirmation form! I’m road tripping across America for the next few weeks so I just wanted to knock it out now!
Major: Liberal Studies
They didn’t ask me to do phase 2. When the acceptance email came in, I assumed it was a generic announcement about their holiday schedule...but as I opened the email I was hopeful that it was an invitation for phase 2. Shocked is an understatement for how I felt when I realized what it was
Congrats! Will you be attending USC?
I sent in my acceptance, but I am still waiting to hear back from other schools before I make a final decision!
I have not, but I emailed one person on the admissions team and she said that if we get invited, they will be detailing everything in an email within the next two weeks.
Same! Which prompt were you given ?
In one minute, recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure (i.e. ethical dilemma, personal situation, professional situation, family issue). How did it affect you, and how did occupation/s play a role in addressing the issue?
I also received that prompt. I'm curious as to how everyone is interpreting the word "occupation/s" since it is something very specific in the prompt.
Hello I’ve also received the email for the video submission. According to the email, only selected applicants get to do this. At least this means that they’re interested in us?
If I remember correctly, only selected applicants get invited to the second phase. But I did hear some people get accepted without the second phase. I'm wondering if this second phase is for waitlisting or for people the admissions feel iffy about
I think it might have to do with OT or whatever you were involved with at the time, ABA, therapies, etc. and how that may have helped you in the situation. But honestly I am not sure.
That is what I was assuming as well, I may email for clarification purposes though.
Yeah.. I wonder how the admission team interprets the word “occupation.” Its pretty tricky
If you do let us know what they say!
she sent an update email because I assume that a lot of people had questions!
Out of curiosity, what did the update say?
By occupation, we are referring to the meaningful activities that you participate in. Please see the attached document for examples. The two part question is asking what was the challenge you experienced and how did engaging in a specific occupation/s help you deal with/resolve/impact the situation."
I think mid February? But I know some people didn't hear back until mid April, off the waitlist though
