Has anyone heard anything from Kean yet? I heard they're starting interviews within the next few weeks.
They had a couple rounds of interviews 2 weeks ago!

I know! I'm going to have to learn about group behavioral interviews. I think, from reading other posts, that everyone takes turns answering the same questions, and/ or they participate in a group activity

Same here!! I wasn't even waitlisted in Texas where I am from. So it's kind of exciting. Crossing my fingers for us!
me too!(except i'll be interviewing on the 17th) finally, I was getting worried since I hadn't heard anything. Will you be going to the DU interview? I know you also were accepted at SM, so I didn't know if you were planning on going!
I got the call today too!!

Yes, I'm going! I haven't fully made up my mind yet so I figured I would keep my options open!

Does anyone have any advice for the Boston University interview?
Interviewed at Stonybrook University Nov 18th, still haven't heard back :/
Interviewed at NYIT in early January, got accepted
Got an interview at LIU Brooklyn but I declined because I know I would choose NYIT over them.
Still waiting to hear back from Hofstra University, Touro College Bayshore, and York College. I've heard Touro and York are both kind of tough to hear back from.
Has anyone heard from these?

I interviewed with them in the beginning of December. The interview is really laid back. You'll have 2 faculty members asking you questions. They asked me to tell them one thing about myself that isn't in my application. They also asked about a role model(not a family member) that I had. They gave me a fieldwork scenario that was to see if I have a moral compass pretty much (easy question). The questions were pretty easy. I remember saying "oh this is a fun question!" during my interview and they smiled and I could tell they were glad I was enjoying the interview rather than stressing out. If you are genuine and passionate about OT it will be no problem.
I'm also waiting to hear from them. :/ Same date as well
Waiting to hear from these as well...I interviewed at SBU but nothing yet either...Interviewed at Stonybrook University Nov 18th, still haven't heard back :/

What have you heard about York college? I'm taking two prereqs there now but I'm unsure about their program. Thx.

At least we're not alone!
York I've heard iffy things, since they're so much cheaper than other programs they apparently get a ton of applications and are super picky :/ I also just found out this week that they fill their program with their own students first and kinda just look at transfer applications as extras, so I don't have a great feeling about them. I also applied to the CUNY system back in december and when I call to get a status update, the robot tells me I'm missing certain documents but won't specify.

I applied to twelve schools (got rejected last year so decided to apply to a bunch this year). Interviewed and was accepted to NYIT. Have an interview at Stony Brook this Friday. Haven't heard a peep from the other ten schools though. Fingers crossed!
When did you apply to stony? I applied right before the deadline date so hoping I get an interview...

I paid for the OTCAS portion on November 15th (It had been verified for a few months at that point) and sent in the supplemental app on January 18th.
Oh ok I just sent in my supplemental last week so guessing it'll still be some time before I hear anything. Thanks for letting me know! Good luck on your interview

I think it's ridiculous that Springfield College wants me to pay an additional $50 just to continue reviewing my application. I don't think I will pay it since it wasn't one of my top choices. But I had already paid the $60 to apply in the first place...super frustrating that I won't hear a decision unless I give them more money!
That's annoying!! I didn't receive that email....maybe that means I didn't make the cut

How can they ethically do that? I hope you already got in somewhere so you don't have to play their game.

@FINGERS_CROSSED @JennaOT23
The e-mail said "We are pleased to inform you that your application for graduate study at Springfield College to work toward your Master’s Degree in Occupational Therapy has been through preliminary review and qualifies for further review. In order to continue processing your application, a non-refundable application fee of $50 is required by the Office of Graduate Admissions. Upon receipt of this fee, your application will be complete and moved into the final stage of review."
I just wish they had told me in the beginning it would cost $110 total to apply...I feel ripped off. I'm sure they will send out more e-mails depending on how many people decide to pay. I did get into a program already, so I will not waste any more money...but hearing a decision would have been nice since I did take the time to apply and paid the initial application fee.

So last year I applied and got denied everywhere, so that kind of sucked. This year I applied to some of the same schools, some different. I am so anxious to hear back, I am terrified it will be a repeat of last year
This is what I have so far:
Applied: Midwestern - Downers Grove & Glendale, UW Madison, UW Milwaukee, St. Ambrose, Carroll University, Mt. Mary University, Brenau Univeristy, and Chatham University.
Acceptances: None so far
Waitlisted: Carroll University
Rejected: Brenau, Chatham, and UW Madison
Interviewed: St. Ambrose (2/3)
I keep refreshing my email hoping to hear back, especially from St. Ambrose! Has anyone interviewed there and heard back yet?

I heard that applicants should hear back from St. Ambrose within 1-2 weeks. I am waiting patiently as well!

@OThopeful97 I just received that same email from Springfield. It's so messed up!

How do you know you were rejected at Madison? Keep your head up! I aalso got rejected last year to all schools. Everything will work out how it is supposed to!!
Congrats! Is NYU a top choice for you? I'm happy to have gotten in to LIU but I'm really looking forward to hearing from NYU (and now will be refreshing my email nonstop hoping to get an email since they're sending them out now). If you don't mind me asking, what were your stats? (I know they look for a bunch of different things so it's hard to tell what they're looking for in an applicant but just curious!)

I interviewed at St. Ambrose 1/27/17 and last year as well. For this year, I haven't heard anything yet. Last year I found out I was wait listed on 2/29. During my interview, the faculty told us that we would hear something 4-6 weeks. The students in the program told us 2-3 weeks. Good luck!So last year I applied and got denied everywhere, so that kind of sucked. This year I applied to some of the same schools, some different.

Thank you! I plan to keep trying until someone takes me into their programs, I want this so bad. And as far as my stats go:
Cumulative GPA: 3.3
Pre-req GPA: 3.4-3.6 depending on school
GRE Scrores: 152V 150Q 4.0AW
Shadowing: 3,000+ hours at IP rehab, 12 lymphadema OT, and 12 peds/hippo/EI
Work Experience: IP rehab tech, certified nursing assistant, certified pharmacy technician
Research Experience: 4+ years in Emotion Regulation and Temperament in infants and toddlers, 2 years in Trauma and Mental Health. I have one paper in preparation to be published and have authorship on over 6 presentations.
I messed up my junior year when I was switching majors and working full time, so schools that look at your last 60 credit hours don't usually help me any

I checked their log-in portal and it said I was denied, I also received a letter from the school as well. Keep your head up as well! I hope we both get in and it does work out!

I really hope you get in!! It seems like such a great school to be at, I was really impressed with the program and faculty. I am pretty sure my heart will break if I don't get accepted, but I also have realized not to get too excited lol. Good luck! Make sure to update if you hear anything back!
