Just wondering what your stats were? I didn't apply to Sacred Heart but am considering it as an option for next year if I don't get in anywhere this time around!

 

[PaulS156]

GPA: 3.42
GRE: Verbal - 157, Math - 145 (bad, I know), Written: 4.5
Observation Hours: 206 currently
I was involved for 7/8 semesters in a service fraternity, did service work in South Dakota and worked with developmentally disabled adults
Get a letter from an OT if you haven't.

My problem is I don't have many observation hours at all and I know a letter from an OT looks better! Congrats on being accepted! Thats so awesome, I'm over here freaking out waiting to hear back! This entire process is SO stressful

Thanks. It is extremely stressful and practically a full time job itself.

Most places are done accepting applications. If you don't get in to OT school this year, find a place to gain observation hours ASAP, even if it's a few hours a week because those hours will eventually add up. Don't know how many settings you've observed at but if you need to wait a year, maybe try observing in a different setting because they like to see that you've had a well rounded experience observing.

Thanks! I should be hearing back from Bay Path and UNH this month and Worcester State shortly after. Not sure how long UNE takes to get back to you… my fingers are crossed!! I definitely will observe in many settings this summer if I need to!
