[OTconvert]

Thanks you too! Hopefully soon. Did you already complete the supplemental application for LLU?

I have completed the supplemental application, it feels like ages ago but maybe a month? Do you know if they invite a lot of people to submit the video, or just a few? I haven't been invited to make one, but I haven't been rejected either. My stats are pretty high, but I have no religious experiences or affiliations, so I am not hopeful they will like my answers for the sup app! They were VERY religiously targeted questions, I wasn't expecting it to be that overt! I don't fault them for it, I just don't have much hope left lol.

[wanna_be_OT]

Hey what school reached out to you? Congrats! All my interviews so far have been as perfect as I could have wanted them to be.

If you’re talking about Brenau, there is a big chance I will cancel my interview if I hear back from one of the schools I’ve interviewed already.

Good luck!

[OTlove37_]

Have you heard back from Touro yet?

I haven’t! But it’s probably because of the mistake I made on my end. I barely sent them my supporting documents through mail two weeks ago because I uploaded them online instead since Charles the admission counselor said it was fine. So I have yet to hear back from them, even though I got verified 10/4.

How about you?
