I submitted everything before October 1st, so it was marked 10/1/16. Good luck to you!
Congrats on getting acceptedI have lurked this forum since 2014, and this year, I applied to OT programs for the second time.... and I got in!
I was accepted to SJSU via email on Tuesday January 10th. I'm very excited but don't want to confirm anything until I hear from all the schools I applied to! Does anyone know the deadline for accepting? I am still waiting to get my letter in the mail.
! I had a similar problem to yours, I got accepted to SJ before any other school, so I was nervous about whether I could postpone my confirmation for attendance. However, Gigi told me that I had roughly 2 weeks to get back to her, although I made the decision practically the next day (I really think that SJSU is the best financial option and has such a unique curriculum, so I would have probably attended regardless of what other school I got into). You can always email her to ask how long you have before making a decision, I know it's a huge step to take!I emailed Amanda a really quick question on January 17th and heard back the next day.
Good for you.
It's true I've heard about later acceptances, but last year I know they were way behind on their acceptances due to the program being re-accredited. People were being accepted in late April. So the timing for this year is different. Probably earlier. So far I'm only hearing acceptances from people who applied on October 1. I applied late October, so holding out hope for somewhere high on the waitlist!Even though admissions are on a rolling basis, I have heard of people who applied as late as January still being accepted to the program. So, there is still hope!
My "to do" list still has one item left on it. I took a fall class and need to wait to have my grades finalized before I can send in my transcripts, so my only "to do" item is submitting my last official transcripts.
As of right now, there are 38 people in the Facebook group. Amanda said there will be about 80 acceptances this cycle, so there's still more than half of the seats available!

[email protected]I have officially accepted a seat in the 2017 cohort! I've been living in San Jose for the past few years after graduating college, and if anyone needs advice on housing, the area, or amazing restaurants (there are so many!), feel free to send me a PM or shoot me an email
Thank you, I was totally shocked to be accepted! They did not share that information with me, I only received general information pertinent to my own acceptance. I got an email on 1/10 and a letter on 1/30.
Sorry to hear that! How did you get the letter, was it mailed or emailed?
Hello, as of today there are 49 people in the FB group and they are accepting around 80 into the program.
I'm sorry to hear that you were not accepted. I wish you the very best of luck with other programs/next admission cycle. Don't stop trying, you will get there.
Do you happen to have any info on what month they're reviewing right now?
At least one of them is Amanda, so 48 spots filled? Haha would anyone else attending mind sharing stats and other important info ?Thank you!! It's gotten so much closer to 80 in just 15 days and it's making me so nervous
Sure, 48 spots filled.
I don't, I wish I did! One of my friends submitted in January and she hasn't heard back one way or another. If I hear anything, I'll certainly pass it along here. I imagine the stress at this point is immense.Thank you!! It's gotten so much closer to 80 in just 15 days and it's making me so nervous
It sure is! I'm checking my email every chance I get. For reference, I applied late November and still haven't heard anything. I'm assuming they're still reviewing applications submitted in October or possibly early November. Thanks for passing on the information! I look forward to it.
This is my second year applying, and I totally agree. After last year I spent some time thinking about how to be a stronger applicant for this year. After doing more shadowing plus finishing the prereqs, not only am I a stronger candidate, I also feel way more prepared for grad school. Don't give up, and reward yourself for all the hard work you have done to get this far!
I went to the session and it was very helpful! They answer any questions you have thoroughly. I ended up moving to San Jose for work, so fingers crossed that this works out too! Did you get an email saying your application was ready for review? Because I had to keep emailing them to make sure I had it all in. I had a few issues with it, so even though I applied in October my application wasn't ready for review until December. Wishing everyone luck!!!!!!!
Looks like they applied early December.
To be honest, I never attended an information session, and I used to live walking distance from SJSU! I just combed their website to make my application process as smooth as possible.
Congratssss
Congratulations!
