When did you apply to Madison? I have not received an email, but I did see on the grad school app that they had sent my information to the OT admissions committee on Dec 6th. Hoping to hear something soon
When you login and go into your grad app along the side is all the checks of what information they have and some have notes underneath it
Me too! I definitely want to learn more about the program. Had anyone visited campus or been a student there?
I'm based in Chicago, so I'll be making an impromptu trip there this weekend to check it out for the first time! I've heard nothing but amazing things about Madison.
I received the email at 10:58 AM this morning. Can you tell me more about what you like about the curriculum?
Could you guys post your stats and when you applied?? It's my top choice and I'm really hoping to hear from them!
I applied early October and had everything confirmed as recieved by them by midway through October. Idk all my stats, but a 4.0 pre-reqs, lower overall GPA. GRE quantitative 149, qualitative 161 and writing 5.5. Lots of work experience with adults and children with disabilities in a few different settings and about 35-40 hrs of actual OT observations. I did get a recommendation from an OT and I think that really makes a difference. I will actually be declining my spot (got in elsewhere) so there will be one more available! Sending good vibes to everyone waiting to hear- it's the worst part!
Thanks for your reply! I have really similar stats, observation, and and OT recommendation but I applied a bit later so hopefully I might get in a bit later! Congrats on your other acceptance too!
I actually didn't create a MyUW account until just now. After creating it, it says my status is "Pending" even though I was e-mailed an acceptance. It may have to do with the OT department awaiting approval from the grad school admissions on their selections.
APP STATUS:
It's strange, but I didn't see anything about a deposit! I was a little confused about that (maybe another fellow acceptee can vouch for this?). All they asked for were to send official transcripts and to mail a letter of intent to them accepting admission into the program. This letter must be received by Feb. 9th.
Hi! I'm waiting to hear back from the MSOT program. Is this the program you've applied to? Or are you referring to the DOT program? My husband just sent me the link and I'm a little confused. Also, if the MSOT program, are you "instate" or "out of state"? Thanks!!! And Congrats!!! Madison is my first choice and I'm hoping to hear good new, too!
MSOT and out-of-state. I'm not sure if there's a reciprocity program for Madison and Illinois that will allow me to pay resident tuition.
I'm still waiting to hear. My status on their portal says "pending" still. No communication from them since I've submitted. If you read above, it one person has been accepted, and they're supposed to return their statement of intent and transcripts by Feb 9. Please let me know if you hear anything! Is Madison your first choice? It's mine.
I got a call from the registrar to give a bit more information about my residency status. I grew up in Wisconsin and my parents both live there so I might still qualify for instate. But that's all I've heard so far. Don't know if its positive or just routine. Sigh. Waiting sucks.
Yeah, the guy I spoke with said they were behind with paperwork and just getting a lot of this finalized now. I'm not sure it means anything positive but hey, it's not a negative either! I officially am considered an instate student now, so I'm just sitting here with all my fingers and toes crossed. I really wish they did interviews.
Would you be willing to share your background/stats for admittance, please? I am a COTA and checked my portal yesterday, and was denied acceptance. I'm still waiting to hear from one other school but will try again for Madison next year if not accepted at CSU. I didn't get an email yet, but my portal says no.
Good luck to everyone else!!!!So sorry to hear! Where does it say that in your portal? Madison is a difficult school to get into!!Would you be willing to share your background/stats for admittance, please? I am a COTA and checked my portal yesterday, and was denied acceptance.

Hey mstacey, I'm not sure if your status will change even if they notified you. I was accepted back on 1/18 and my status also says pending still.
I'm still waiting too..... waiting is the worst part! From reading the forum above it looks like we will find out by March?
Congratulations! Super exciting news
