Yea, I applied to several schools. Probably about 10 or so, and I've been accepted to one. I have an interview next week for another school, and I'm waiting to hear back from one more. I really want to attend Cox so if they accept me I'll be estatic. How about you, did you apply anywhere else?

Yeah I applied to four. I have been wait listed by two of them and the other one rejected me, so let's hope all goes well with Cox!

I looked on their Facebook page and it showed a pic of Dr. Vaughan at her desk and the captain said she was looking through applicants. So maybe that's why contacting them gets you an interview faster. Maybe they haven't come across your app yet and when you contact them they look at it and schedule an interview.

This was the reason why I emailed her! There facebook group is super informative!

I don't think it's in any kind of order. I'm sure you'll get an interview. You can always give them a call or send an email. Show them that you are very interested in them.

Oh ok. I think they are conducting interviews all day long today. If I'm not mistaken the first one started at 11am and the last one goes until 5 or 6.

Dr Vaughan said that they have so many applicants that it's hard to know who is really dedicated to their school and who is just trying to get in anywhere. The people who call get more attention because it shows that you really want to go there.

Cox College MSOT. It is a facebook group. They will have to add you, but I think you can still look at the group without being a part of it. They added me in no time!

Ok, I know it's only Monday but I just wanted to confirm with you guys. Did they say they would start letting students know tomorrow if they were accepted? I feel like I heard that but part of me things I made it up. I think I'm just so nervous and excited that I'm overthinking things ;)

So I just got done with my interview, it felt like it went well! They had over 400 applicants and have it down to 130 that are really qualified and we will know by May. So we still have a month to wait it out.

I thought I heard that too... maybe that's when the first round of acceptances will be going out. I hope it's by email and not snail mail! Lol

Both. They said they'll send an email first and then the letter. I thought they were saying they wanted to know for sure who was in the class by May 1st meaning we'd know before then.

Cost for this school? It's not even accredited yet

I believe around $40,000. They have their final Site visit in June. They've made it this far. Schools rarely come this far and not get accreditation. Plus, the director of the program established the program at Seton Hall about 18 years ago. I'm not worried.

I calculated $46,000 plus tuition increases each year. About the same as in state tuition in most states. Very cheap is that why a lot applied?

I applied because of Dr. Vaughan. She's done some great things and I spoke with a current student. They have a lot of opportunities for fieldwork, plus they are heavily involved in the community. The low tuition and low cost of living is a plus.

That is a bonus, but they do amazing work in the community. Dr. Vaughan has a strong background in pediatrics which is something that I am looking into. I also like the idea that they are a new program because they are more open to change and adapting to what is going on in the community.
