Hi!

I got invited to interview at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio on 12/18 for their OTD program. I was wondering if anyone knew about their interview process or had gone through it before in previous application cycles. I have heard that they ask about relevant topics to the occupational therapy field rather than just the typical interview questions. Please let me know if anyone can help me out! Thanks!

Congrats! I'm waiting to hear back from them. When did you submit your application?
I'm out of state so I don't know if Im hopefully going to be in the first round of interviews or Jan interviews. Nervous!

I have heard they have a writing prompt, but that the interview part is very relaxed. Good luck!!!

It was pretty laid back overall. They split you up into groups to do a group interview and they give you 3 questions. They also do a group activity where current students observe you and finish with a writing prompt.

So you only have a group interview? what about an individual interview?

For those that already interviewed, did they say how many people they were interviewing this year and when to expect to hear back from them?
