Verification process?
I'm a little confused about the verification process and can't really find much information online. Exactly what materials need to be in for the verification process to begin? How do you know if your application is ready to be verified? Thanks if anyone can help me with this! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Hey everyone! I'm super excited to finally be going through the application process for OT school and wanted to make a thread so that we can all follow each other's progress during this process, ask questions, and support each other along the way!

Contacting St. Augustine MOT
Is anybody else having a hard time reaching this school? I tried calling and emailing. Does anybody know their office hours for San Marcos? Google tells me 8AM - 8PM but I'm not sure if I can trust that and I don't see their hours posted on their website. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

CSUDH MSOT 2021 Application Cycle
I wanted to start a thread for anyone applying to CSUDH's MSOT program this year (program start is January 2021).

In-Person Interviews
Hi everyone, I was just looking at the application deadlines for the schools I'm applying to and the University of Findlay is requiring a mandatory in-person interview in February for consideration into their program. Because I'm from Oregon (only 1 private program in-state) and I have a lower GPA, most of the schools that I'm applying to are on the east coast. In order to attend this interview, I would need to come up with over $1,000 for plane tickets and expenses for just one interview... In-Person Interviews (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Just got my GRE results and got 150V 143Q and a 5.0 in the writing section.

personal statement- too much information?
Hi everyone! I'm really stuck on the amount of information I should provide on my personal statement - I definitely want to talk about my experience with raising my baby cousin after my aunt passed away as well as how being a preschool teacher and working with a kiddo with Down syndrome helped shape my love and interest for OT. I'm seeing a ton of different examples of personal statements, some are way longer than others, and I don't know exactly how much I should talk about my past... personal statement- too much information?
