I'm between BU and Jefferson (OTD)! I have deposits down on both right now because the timelines did not overlap for me. Just found out today that I got into NYU so now I have some more evaluating to do!

I've heard Columbia is super focused on the mental health setting, so if that's something you're interested in it's a pro, if it's not then it's a con! haha

Agree! My coworker who recently graduated and passed her NBCOT, told me that Columbia focus on mental health more.

Do you by any chance remember what the Wesley interview was like? I have one next week and I'm super nervous!!
 
I know it’s not directly OT but it’s the same department. Has anyone heard from Rehab Science PhD program at BU?

Congrats on the interview! My interview was very quick, lasting 30 minutes exactly because they had interviews before and after me. I was interviewed by two of the OT faculty and was asked pretty general OT questions! I honestly can’t remember most of them but I do remember talking about why I wanted to be an OT and why I was applying to Wesley specifically. I don’t feel like any of the questions were surprising or tricky so it wasn’t too bad overall! Everyone was very kind which definitely made it more enjoyable. Good luck! Let me know if you have anymore questions!

If anyone has applied to the same schools and has heard back please let me know! I only applied to schools that don't require the GRE since I am terrible at standardized testing and don't feel its a good represntation of my academics. So would also love to find more programs that aren't considering scores :)

How do you feel about Rutgers? I was accepted there as well (without an interview) but am a bit hesitant because they are only in the pre-accreditation stage.

Hey! I applied to some of the same schools as you! I also only applied to programs that didn't require the GRE, I don't test well either. :)

Applied: UW, EWU, UPS, Pacific, Bay Path, Brenau, Thomas Jefferson, Salus, Davenport
Interviews: Pacific, Brenau
Accepted: Bay Path
Waitlist: None
Rejection: EWU

Did you get the email from Puget Sound with the Admissions Portal? It said that it would be updated in mid February. It updated this week to ask for an address verification, but no information about if I got in or not. Anyone else?

Hi NWOT! I see the verify address message in the UPS admission portal as well. However when I save my address, the message doesn’t disappear. Same thing for you? I might give them a call in the morning to check in.

I haven’t gotten any email or mail with a decision!

Sorry about EWU! Best of luck to you with the other schools!

Hey! Yeah, I don't see a change either. :/ If you call them, please let me know what they say!

I'm feeling pretty good about applications this year, I felt good about my Brenau interview and I have a lot of friends at Pacific, so 3/4 so far is not bad in my book. :)

I got that too! Verified and everything, but no decision yet! I just commented on someone else's post that I've seen in past years they call for acceptances so keep an eye on your phone too!

No it was actually no caller ID, so I almost didn’t even answer it! Luckily I did though 😄

I didn't get the address update notification. Have you heard anything since? I see that some people have gotten acceptance calls. It feels like its been forever waiting for the Washington schools!

I didn't get an email either, but I started checking the Puget Sound website every day so I just assumed I didn't get it because I'd already updated my address. 🧐 I haven't heard anything. I'm worried I didn't get in because of a missed instruction on the application. Theirs was so detailed!!
