I am only applying to one school, so I didn't bother using OTCAS. The admissions office said it was okay... but now I am getting paranoid though that this will put me at a disadvantage.

Honestly, no I do not think you are at a disadvantage at all. Although, I am speaking as an applicant so OT students may have a different outlook. I have spoken to many students/professors who attend or teach at schools that are not involved in OTCAS and they said they do not like receiving hundreds of applications so thats one of the reasons. Some of the top schools do not use OTCAS like UNC Chapel Hill and MUSC in Charleston, but are still extremely competitive. I think that if you do not have a competitive GPA and outstanding credentials like some students, that applying to a school not using OTCAS is probably the better way to go. You'll be fine, good luck!!
