General Admissions & OTCAS Who have you heard back from? 2020-2021 Cycle

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Rocky Mountain College (Billings, MT) offered me an interview next week for their class beginning January 2022! They have a unique offering in that they emphasize entrepreneurship as a part of the OTD program.

has anyone interviewed for VCU already for early decision? any tips?
 
I've gotten into Rocky Mountain College (declined), Marquette University (declined) and St Scholastica. Still waiting to hear back from Midwestern IL and St Catherine University. I'll most likely be going to St Scholastica, anyone else?
 
I think WashU and MUSC are tied for #1 for me. If I end up getting into MUSC I will have a tough decision to make.
I am in the same boat! WashU is my favorite curriculum but MUSC is close to home! It will definitely be a tough choice.

Did you end up telling Tufts that you were not going to attend? Were you able to get your deposit back?

Anyone else apply at the normal deadline for UIC waiting to hear back? Or UWM, Madison, or Washington for that matter? The anticipation is killing me!
I was accepted into Madison as soon as I submitted the kira assessment few weeks back. Not my top choice but waiting to hear back from Rush... Goodluck !

Oh wow. You did your Kira Assessment a few weeks ago and you already heard back? It seems like everyone else on this website did theirs months and months ago and still hasn't heard back. Congrats to you! When did you originally apply?

I have a friend who got accepted into the program for 2020 when things started transitioning to online. Her interview was a link where she had two minutes to answer questions as they popped up on the screen. Not sure if that’s how it will be for this round

Thank you! Good to know that this might be an option! None of my other interviews had been like that so it’s nice to know this from a prep stand point! Thank you again!!
 
Has anyone heard back from NYU or Columbia yet? If so, would you mind sharing your stats?

Same here! MUSC is much closer but WashU's program is more appealing to me. I did tell Tufts I was no longer coming and did not get my deposit back.

Congrats on landing an interview with Rush, how did it go?
 
Hi! How long did it take to hear back from UF given when you applied? I'm getting anxious waiting to hear something!
I did early admission! I applied November 7th and heard back mid-January. The email said that they have already filled their class.
 
I had my interview with UNC last Friday but still no word from Duke.
 
Hey
How was your West coast interview? is it virtual interview? I have revived email saying that they selected my application because i meet all the requirement but they will call me within months and scheduled an interview. so I am wondering what and how to prepare for the interview, it might help me thanks.
I have a Dominican OTR students at my skilled nursing facility for their first FW rotation and they are saying that classes are transit to online now; and program does not have interview process. Unfortunately, they selected students off from paper application. good luck.

I haven’t heard anything yet but they told us they’re aiming to send the first round of acceptances out around Valentine’s Day!

Has anyone heard from Kean ?
if you applied to the OTD program, you should hear back this month. If you applied to the MS program, most likely March. They do separate rounds of interviews for each. OTD first because the applications were due before the MS apps. My friend got an email last year about an interview around this time and was then accepted a month later for OTD.
