CSUDH MSOT 2022 Applications!
Hey Everyone! Thought I'd create a space to share, ask, and answer questions about the CSUDH MSOT application. I had a question about CalState Apply vs. OTCAS. My plan was to apply to both CalState Apply and OTCAS for CSUDH. Now I'm wondering, can I apply to the MSOT program only using the CalState Apply and leave CSUDH off my OTCAS to avoid paying to apply there twice? I spoke to some previous CSUDH MSOT students and they had mentioned a paper application too. I think I'm slightly... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

LOW GPA? Dont give up!!
I graduated with my bachelor's degree with a 2.7 GPA. After taking all my pre requisites for OT school my GPA was still 2.9. I just got accepted into an OTD program! There is hope. Get shadowing hours. Volunteer. Practice interviewing so you feel prepared. Show them you want it. Have your WHY and be yourself. I was so discouraged. But if can do it, so can you!!

Worcester State Application
Hi everyone! I live in MA and am really hoping to get into Worcester state for the in-state tuition especially. I was wondering if anyone has applied to this program before. I see that people have discussed observation hours when discussing this school, but I do not see them mentioned as a requirement on WSU's graduate admissions criteria. I know the application does not open until October 1st, but I wanted to get an idea of what I could get together now to be prepared. If you have applied... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

I'm a hand therapist AMA
Hello, Once a former lurker here around 2012-13 I have returned as a hand therapist to answer questions you may have about my speciality/career. I graduated in 2017, and I am nearing my CHT exam. Do you have interest in hands? Considering outpatient? I will do my best to answer whatever questions you may have. I should probably tell you I won't give you specific advice about your hands as an official evaluation should always occur prior to giving medical advice. Anyways, I am heading...

Difficulties finding OT observation/volunteer hours in NYC?
Hi guys, I'm in the process of applying to OT grad school. I feel like my application is very weak right now since I don't have volunteering experience. I've been having difficulty finding a place to allow me to volunteer or observe, I'm guessing due to the pandemic and all. I'm currently in NYC and wondering how I can find these opportunities? I've asked around a bunch of hospitals and PT/OT offices saying they're not looking or they already have enough students shadowing. I've looked on... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)
