Thoughts on application stats and improving for upcoming cycle?
Hello all! I have been considering a field change for a few years now and have finally come to the conclusion that OT is the best fit for me. I spent undergrad studying psychology and working extensively in a behavioral neuroscience lab, so I am a little bit worried that my stats/experiences won't line up with what schools are looking for.

Working full time in OTD program?
Hello!
I am currently a senior in undergrad wrapping up my last semester before OT school. While in undergrad I was able to work 2 jobs simultaneously before working full time as an RBT, and I am curious as to everyone’s thoughts about whether working full time while going for an OTD is sustainable. I have heard mixed things about working full time while in grad school from both OTs and BCBAs, leading me to make this post. Thanks in advance for the advice! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

NSU Tampa OTD 2023
Hi everyone!
I got accepted to the OTD program at Nova Southeastern University in Tampa on 1/13! I was wondering if anyone else got accepted or has some knowledge about the program like if there is a facebook page or anything. I applied to NYIT, SUNY Downstate, Nova, Pace, Tuoro, and Seton Hall. So far, I've been accepted to both Nova and NYIT. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Samuel Merritt University OTD Fall 2023
Hello everyone. I have been invited to interview at Samuel Merritt's OTD program on 12/3. I interviewed last year and was rejected. Do you know if they ask the same 5 questions every year? If not, are you able to share what questions they have asked previously?
Also, for anyone who has applied more than once, did you interview with the same two faculty members that you did in the past cycle?
Any wisdom would be appreciated. Thanks! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

What should I do if I have a 3.1 gpa?
I'm about to graduate with a BBH/psych double major and started looking into Occupational Therapy a bit too late. I have all the requirements (though not sure if I need to take Physics 2) and i have good grades in all of them except the two A and P labs, which I got Cs in due to health and COVID.

The only requirement I...
