They sent me an email titled "MWU AZ Occupational Therapy Masters Program Waitlist Email" saying that they were putting my application on hold until later notice.

I have submitted my applications and they have been verified, but only 2 of my 4 LORs have been submitted (sending some polite yet urgent emails). Does anyone know if schools will even look at my application if I have LORs yet to come?

Awesome! Thank you so much! I applied about a week ago, it was verified through OTCAS last Thursday I believe. Did they send you a confirmation email or anything? Some of the programs I have applied to have, but I haven't received anything from Rockhurst. Good luck on your interview!
