General Admissions & OTCAS OT school application acceptances and advice

[ot0]

Hey all - I applied to 14 OT schools, and have so far been accepted to 5 schools. I know it is a reach but IF I am accepted to all 14 schools does anyone have insight or suggestions on these schools? I am already torn about which school to choose. I am really looking to become clinician and want that to be the emphasis of the program (before research.) Also looking for a close knit accommodating program since I do have a disability that will require accommodations in grad school.



Accepted:



Boston university (OTD)

Rutgers (OTD)

JMU (MSOT)

Stanbridge (MSOT)

St Augustine (MSOT)



Applied :



NYU

George Washington

Duke

Keck Graduate Institute

Columbia

Towson

Shenandoah

UNC

University of Florida

When did you find out about Rutgers?

 

[bunnyluver47]

I applied to Quinnipiac and they are super supportive about accommodations. I would ask the schools you’ve been accepted to about their resources. GW may be tough bc it is hybrid

Hello all! I wanted to reach out as I was heavily involved in all forums when I was in the application cycle and when I was interviewing as well. I am about to finish up my last didactic semester before going into my level two rotations (acute care and school based peds). That all being said, as I am finishing up, I wanted to make sure I could reach out and help anybody out that may need advice. I can be reached more directly through my instagram @otwithlexy so please feel free to DM me from there (just let me know you're from SDN) and I can answer all your questions. For some clarity, when I was applying, I was accepted to: Midwestern University, USC, Howard University, Samuel Merritt University, A.T Still University, UNLV, & Dominican University. Please use me as a resource and good luck to you all! You got this!!
