MGH vs. Tufts
I got into the OTD programs at MGH and Tufts, and have to decide on a school this weekend. I'm currently leaning towards Tufts because they seem to have a good alumni network and support for students on campus, but they don't have interprofessional education like MGH does. Does anyone have any opinions/advice when it comes to deciding between these two schools? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

What are my chances of being accepted ?
Hi everyone,I’m hoping to get some feedback on my application.
My stats aren't the best,early in my undergraduate career I had a rough time but did better before I graduated.Though that wasn’t enough, cumulative gpa was around 2.4.Since graduating with a degree in Kinesiology in 2017 ,I have retaken a few pre-requisites and my gpa for most schools that I’m applying to is 3.3.
I know my stats are not the best,but I have the experience and have observed and worked with many OT’s from...

I'll leave my states below If anybody has any input, I'd love to hear. I am also applying to SJSU, USC, USA San Marcos, CSU and UPS.

Low undergrad stats. Should I go OTA route before applying for OT?
I graduated back in 2015 with bachelor's in psych. I was pre-OT before but I messed up in my anatomy classes and ended up with a low GPA of 3.18. Since graduating, I've been working in a medical office and would like to apply to OT school again. I am wondering if I should go through OTA school first to compensate for my low undergrad gpa and anatomy grades. I am located in NYC and I would like to apply to school here so I don't need to relocate (interested in NYU, LIU Brooklyn, York...

Reality check time. In many cases a career in OT is not worth it.
At one point several years back, I was trying to pursue a career in OT. I would venture on this forum everyday, trying to see what my chances were in getting into a school, and arguing with any OT who would speak poorly about the rehab industry. I didn't know what else to do other than OT--and I didn't need some jaded OT to ruin my buzz. Little did I know I would become one of those OT's one day who I used to argue with. Some of you are so focused on getting your hours in, finishing your...

Is the cost of an out-of-state OT school worth it?
I've been accepted to a few out of state OT programs that are significantly more expensive than my one in-state option. I would love to go out of state to have the experience of living somewhere new, and the all 3 of the programs have great curriculums and have 100% NBCOT pass rates. However the cost of each of the out of state schools total around 100k. Therefore, I was just wondering if anyone made the decision to move or stay in state, and the pros and cons of staying/leaving? At this...
