I haven't seen anyone made a page about WCU's 2021 Cycle, so I thought it would be nice to start one. I wanted to know if anyone has done their interviews with them this cycle and how was it? I have my interview in 2 weeks. Thanks!
 
Hey! I'm trying to apply on OTCAS but when I added the program, there's no page for me to input my prerequisites? I only see a home page. I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding something about the application process?

Yea that's how it was for me! I think they don't require us to input our prerequisites there because they're going to see it through our transcripts.

Yeah you don't need to input any grades for WCU on OTCAS, but you do need to fill out the supplemental application on their website. Have you guys heard back from them yet?
 
hi guys! I haven't heard anything, but it has only been a week since I submitted. Did you guys get a confirmation email when you complete their supplemental application on their website? It doesn't seem like I submitted it because there wasn't anything following it besides paying for the fee.

Hey, I got a confirmation email they received the supplemental app like 2-5 days after I submitted it. This was around late September though.
 
Hi! I had my interview for WCU on the 24th! I haven't heard anything back regarding a decision

I got a confirmation email! I would contact the school just in case. They should have received it if you paid the fee though
 
Hey! I interviewed with them on 10/30 and haven’t heard anything back yet.

Yes I heard back on Nov 18th after my interview Oct 30. I was accepted, however I am unsure if I want to accept as I am still waiting to hear back from 6 schools. I applied for the Summer MSOT 2021 program!

Congrats!!I got interviewed on the same day, and I haven’t heard back. I’m stating to get so worried since it’s my top school that I want to get in 😟
 
Hi! I was interviewed on 10/30 but I haven’t heard back since then. Does anybody know if that means my chance of getting in is lower now ? 😐 Did anybody not get a hear back until today who was interviewed on the same day as well ?

I am not accepting my seat in the Masters program so hopefully you and others have a chance!
 
Hey guys! I interviewed on 11/20. Wondering if anyone with that interview date has heard back yet? I'm getting antsy haha.
 
Is the interview in person? And would anyone recommend sending in my application now? I know the deadline isn't until 1/31.
 
Generally its better to send in your applications as early as you can. Even if the deadline isnt until then, they can have a round of interviews before the deadline. I would highly doubt the interviews are in person considering the state of how bad Covid cases are right now. I don't believe I have even seen other programs mention in person interviews ever since March initial shutdowns.

West Coast University mentions in-person interviews on OTCAS.

"Upon successful submission of your OTCAS application, the admissions team will review and connect with you by email (please check your spam). If you meet all admissions requirements and are qualified for our program, you will be considered for an interview. If you move onto the interview phase, please keep in mind that the interviews are in-person only and at our campus in Los Angeles. When visiting our campus on the interview day, in addition to the interview itself the interviewee's will receive a campus tour, meet with multiple esteemed OT faculty, and connect with a few of our students in-person as well."

So is West Coast rolling admissions? Do you know if they are sending out acceptances before the deadline?

I was waitlisted on the same day but I think we will be hearing back of our rankings before the deadline which is in January.
good luck to you too! 😊
 
WCU requires a supplemental application ($75) ....all this information they already have through OTCAS. And yet they are charing us more money. Kind of putting me off from this school.
