Hi! Yes, I did get asked for an interview! Just waiting for the decision letter.

Same! Apparently there is a priority waitlist, I guess that is for people who interviewed. Is Chatham your number one or are you still waiting on schools?

Oh wow! So I ended up opting out of the waitlist bc I’m pretty set on going to UNE. Although I am curious to see if I get accepted to Seton Hall (since I’d be able to just commute from home), UNE would be the most affordable.

I had my interview last week! I think since you didn't receive an interview then you probably won't be accepted unfortunately :/

Did you have an interview already? I had mine last week and it was the last round of interviews. We should hear about their decision by the end of the month.

Hi! Yes, my interview was on the 10th! I believe they said we should know late February/early March. I was just wondering if anyone had received their letter yet.

congrats on the acceptances ! Have you decided specifically which school you'll be attending ?
 
Hey everyone I saw som people were wondering about university of puget sound decisions. I got a call on Wednesday saying I was accepted so I’d expect to start hearing soon!
I was accepted to a cheaper program (SJSU) though so I most likely will not accept my seat. Still waiting to hear from UW! Good luck, hang in there!

Hey, thank you!! Out of the schools I have got into, Lewis University (IL) is my top choice. I am still waiting to hear back from UIC (which might change my answer but I really can’t decide yet).

Did you hear about any scholarships or get an email/mail also offering acceptance? I got the call but haven’t received anything in writing yet

I haven't received any additional correspondence regarding acceptance or scholarships via the admission portal, email or snail mail yet.

Over the phone she mentioned written acceptances will be posted to our portal early this week! I also believe if you received a scholarship, they would have mentioned it over the phone with your acceptance. That was the case for me!

Ah okay. I asked about them and she said she didn’t have info on them and I would find out later. Hoping that is the case!

Did you ever hear back from Bay Path? I got accepted into MCPHS but waiting to hear back from other schools but not sure if it's worth it to apply to Bay Path or not

Hi! Off topic but when did you apply to MCPHS/when did you get your acceptance? I feel like I've been waiting to hear from them for a while.

Hey! I applied December 21st and then I heard back from them January 19th, so it took about 4 weeks for me!

Has anyone been accepted to UAB and know if there is a Facebook or other group for accepted students?

my friend got her acceptance letter on Friday. I am also still waiting. I checked my Discover Stockton account and it says under documents "Waitlist Form-not received" so I'm assuming I was waitlisted but I have not received confirmation yet. Also, don't give up yet, not everyone who got accepted is going to accept it. Many schools have not sent out acceptances yet so maybe they will be accepting an offer from another program! If you are waitlisted, stay on it because things could change and you could get a call for an offer into the program! Personally I will not accept their offer because I have been accepted into an OTD program already, so that gives you a leg up!

I’m in the same boat as you I haven’t heard anything yet and it’s so nerve wracking. Hoping for the best!
 
Is anyone planning on attending the University of St. Mary's program in KS?
 
FutureOT2525 said:
It really came down to cost. Since I will be living on my own, tuition at Rush + living expenses was just too much for me to commit to. If I lived with family, Rush would have probably been my first or second choice! :)

understandable ! did they offer any graduate assistantships or scholarships for you ?

got my waitlist letter today :((
 
Does anyone know if A.T. Still University in Mesa, AZ has filled all the spots for the master's program? I've been waitlisted or rejected to the schools I applied to, so I decided I might apply to one that still has an open deadline on OTCAS. ATSU has a rolling deadline, but they said the seats fill quickly. Just wondering if anyone knows if it's full.

Hi! You have such impressive stats - way to go!! Curious about proctoring Zoom exams - would you mind sharing how you got connected with that opportunity? Looking for some side income to help tackle those loans and that seems like a good gig!

Hi! Thanks so much :) I'm still in undergrad so it's a job position through my university! I was looking on their job postings last summer because I wanted to see if I could make a little money over quarantine and positions were available! I'm currently a senior so I'll be continuing until May. I'm not sure how to get this kind of job outside of a university though!
