Milligan University OT Masters Program
Any current students or alumni from Milligan University's MOT Program? I'm considering applying next application cycle and wanted to hear if anyone has anything to say about it. Pros, cons, reputation, location, etc???
I'm also not religious at all, and considering that it is a private Christian university, will I feel out of place or likely not get accepted if I don't include religion in my personal statement or application?
Thanks! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Do I stay or do I go? (PsyD)
Hi everyone,
Longtime lurker, but this is my first post.
Thanks for taking the time to read this (it’s long!).
I am looking for some advice or words of wisdom regarding what feels like a huge decision to leave my very well regarded, top tier PsyD program, or stick it out for another 3 years.
Some background and context: I graduated from Occupational Therapy school in 2017 and worked in the OT field exclusively for about 2 years. At the time, I had my eye on a doctorate, and most likely...

Inaugural Class for the University of the Incarnate Word - Accreditation Concerns
Hi everyone!
I recently interviewed with IUW for their OTD program and have gotten unofficially accepted. They are currently waiting for Candidacy status, coming this May.
I just wanted to know if anyone else is planning on attending their inaugural class starting this Fall. Because of cost and location, I am leaning towards this program. They showed promise during the preview/interview day. Their director also have led other programs in the past few years to accreditation for both MSOT and...

Jefferson OTD?
Hey all! Just got a letter saying I was accepted into Jefferson's OTD program, was wondering what anyone has heard about their program, what people in that program think of it, etc. I was also accepted to Widener's OTD program, and am slated to enroll there in June, but figured I should do my due diligence and research Jefferson as well. I thought it was very odd that Jefferson is the only school that never interviewed me, just accepted me. Is there any one who had a similar experience...

Are MOT admissions very competitive as of 2023?
I know PT has been extremely difficult for people to get accepted almost anywhere, but has OT been super competitive or is it on the easier side of graduate admissions for anyone who has been applying lately? I have heard that some programs haven't even been able to fill their seats completely so I am just wondering. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Might not get into OT school as planned? Need help figuring out plan B
Hi guys,
I’ve been trying to apply for the OTD program for years now (due to Covid, I took a while to get shadowing hours) but this year I managed to get them and applied for school. I applied for Nova Southeastern here in Florida however, the admissions counselor sent me an email stating that I was missing a preq (I got a C- in physics) so they are not considering that requirement filled. I graduated university with my Bachelor’s degree in Health Science 3 years ago so it’s not like I can...

Help me decide? Widener OTD vs Temple OTD
Hey all! I got accepted into my top 2 choices- Temple and Widener for OTD. I am incredibly torn on the two options, and would greatly appreciate any insights on what people might think about the two. Here's what I have so far for my pros/cons of both
Widener
Pros: cadaver lab, inter-professional mixed classes, student run community clinic, $1,084 per credit (111 credits), automatically registers my classes (small but is a pretty cool perk imo), safer campus area.
Cons: newer program (I...
