I am definitely practicing. I haven’t found any other blogs about what they ask for the interviews, but I’ve been trying to find some. Can anyone send me links that they have found to study from?
Hello everyone,
I found out that I have been invited to interview last Tuesday the 5th. The interview is March 2nd 10:00-2:30. I was told that they invited 60 students. I have been looking at other OT forums and a lot of people have already accepted at other universities that also applied for Pacific U and they are turning down interviews which could mean you are given their place. Keep in mind also that not everyone that interviews will accept and that also opens up other options. Never lose hope! I was literally crying last week because I had gotten 3 denials and waitlisted for another! I have applied for 8 universities and I may even not get offered a place here. We are all nervous! So keep up the hard work!
I have an interview as well on march 2nd see you there
I received an email today inviting me to do a Skype or Zoom interview. Was anyone else asked to do Skype instead of in person?
Does anyone know how many people were/are in each interview round?
How did things go for people who interviewed today? Has anyone who interviewed the first date heard anything back yet?I believe it’s 60 per interview date so 120 people interviewed in total. I know there are different interview times, so I’m not sure how many people are in each round.

I did not go. I got into one of my top choices! Good luck

Jon Erik said we won’t here back until March 11/12 or til March 19/20Has anyone else been accepted yet? I keep checking my emails!

So first wave of acceptance will be this week!
Um...I have been biting my nails and refreshing my email every few minutes....I actually had to disable notifications and put my phone in another room!!! I am so nervous! I felt my interview went great!
Additionally, I had sent Jon-Erik an email early last week and his response said he would not be back in the office until the 11th. I believe he may be part of the deliberations so maybe first wave tomorrow?
I got an email for Tier 1 waitlist- this is my top choice so I’m bummed, but I’m staying hopeful!
Received an acceptance email this afternoon, I screamed in public what a sight it was!! This is my top choice and I feel so relieved and lucky. Good luck to everyone! I will be redacting my enrollment in Creighton's OTD program so if any of you are on Creighton's waitlist there will be a spot opening.
My top choice is University of Washington and I was accepted there.Congratulations OTcait!! Is it your top choice?
I got an email today of acceptance and I literally cried for an hour!
Has anyone else heard!?!?!
My top choice is University of Washington and I was accepted there.
I think so! I’m also considering Puget Sound and will be visiting both schools next week.Thats awesome! Are you accepting at Udub?

I found out yesterday I was accepted as well! I'm so excited! I'll be looking for a roommate or two (preferably two because 3 bedrooms are more affordable). If anyone is potentially interested in being roommates let me know! But I'd also love to start getting to know my future classmates regardless.
Yay! Thats awesome! I am also potentially looking for a roommate, although the cost won't make much difference to me because I would have to rent two rooms. One for myself and one for my almost 11yr old! I am still pondering it though. I have found some decent two bedrooms around hillsboro and beaverton, but it gets more and more expensive. Keep an eye on the market! Do you know where you would want to live? Beaverton is about a 30-40min commute depending on traffic...or...you can ride the train and do homework!
Does anyone know the chances of being accepted as a waitlist in Tier 1? Or know of anyone who was accepted who was oringinally waitlisted? In the email it says “for the past 2 years, we have dipped into Tier 2”, so that gives me a lot of hope, but the waiting game is stressful since I live in California and can’t wait too long for loans, housing, roommates, etc
From past years' threads it looks like there were some who were waitlisted Tier 1 who were later admitted. It seems like it took about a month from the date of the first email until they were finally admitted. So don't lose hope! The email I got said the deadline to submit a deposit is March 26th, so once that deadline has passed they might start contacting those from the waitlist if any spots have opened up. Hopefully you hear something soon. I wish you the best of luck!
Have any folks who’ve been accepted heard anything from financial aid or know when award/loan info is supposed to go out?
I'm considering living in either Beaverton or Hillsboro. I'm pretty young (23) and I'll be on my own and paying my own bills for the first time, so I want to keep it as low stress as possible for me. And also to save on gas it'd be awesome to be within biking distance of the campus. The apartments there are pretty expensive though! Luckily it seems like they're all nice quality, so I'm sure you'll find a great place for the both of you. Also congrats on getting accepted!
I have not received a physical letter yet. Based off of last year's thread it seems like the FB group wasn't created until May?Hello everyone, for those accepted, I am just wondering if they have received their official letter in the mail yet? Additionally, does anyone know when the facebook page should start?
I have not received a physical letter yet. Based off of last year's thread it seems like the FB group wasn't created until May?
Thanks for the update! Did he say anything about when financial aid/loan info might be available?I haven't read recieved an official letter yet either, but I just got an email from Jon-Erik with a timeline saying that the FB group will be created in May and our 2nd years OT student mentors will get into contact with us around that time too!
He said financial aid will reach out in April. He didn't say when in April though, unfortunately :/Thanks for the update! Did he say anything about when financial aid/loan info might be available?
I met with a financial aid advisor at another private school. My understanding is that there are very few scholarships and grants for grad programs. Most students use a combination of federal loans, private loans, and savings to pay for grad school. Grants and scholarships will take a lot of work on your end; they most likely won't be included in an aid package.I also got an email from Jon-Erik. Didn't anyone get a scholarship?

Congratulations! I was awarded one as well. Were you at the first interview day? I feel like I met a woman with awesome glasses who had an 11 yo.Oh, I was asking because I was awarded one.

It sounds like you may be interested in a part time roommate? I live in Portland, but my commute is an hour and a half by train/bike combo. Ideally, I would like to crash on a couch out there one or two nights a week (it sounded like Mondays and Wednesdays are LONG days on campus.) Feel free to message me if you're interested in exploring that option.
