What would be the pros and cons of doing fieldwork in another country? For those of you on here who may have done this, was it a good experience? Also, how extensively did you check out the fieldwork site prior to actually going and did other students from your class end up going to the same...

What are some jobs(besides Flipping burgers) that an OT graduate student who has a liberal arts bachelors degree might qualify for? For the semester, it would have to be a job that would require no more than six hours of work per week, due to the fact that grad school requires such a massive...

Does anyone know if the one credit unit awarded for this course is actually accredited college level credit or if it is continuing education credit instead? I like that this course can be completed sooner than the community college course I signed up for. I wonder if they charge out of state fees.

Does anyone know if there is a deadline that would have already passed for the graduate stafford or PLUS loans? Also, is it extremely difficult and lengthy process to get a private loan for grad school if getting the federal loans does not work out? I did not submit my fafsa until this month...

Does anyone know of an accredited school that offers this course online, preferably during the first half of the summer? Self paced would be awesome as well, so that I could finish early and not have to have it last for the entire summer. I need it to be relatively affordable, so I am thinking...

No, but I will be attending an upcoming interview.

Is the "certifications" section of the OTCAS application only for professional certifications such as CPR, first aid, instructor certification etc., or would it also be ok to include in this section the completion of a short course in disabilities studies that was taken online through a...

I recently received an email from them. Hopefully, they will let us know something soon. Did either of you interview there?

Any opinions on how much regional accreditation matters?

Thanks for the replies! I am hoping that they are just delayed in sending out the acceptance letters. however, I will definitely be asking them what I could have done to have made my application stronger if I do not end up being accepted this time around.

Do programs always send out rejection letters or some kind of notification if they do not accept an applicant, or do some of the programs not send out any notification at all to applicants who are not accepted? Also, if someone is not accepted for a program, would it be appropriate to ask the...

So, I have been looking at some of the private schools for OT, such as University of St. Augustine in regards to their types of accreditation. One thing that I noticed is that this university in particular, does not appear to be regionally accredited. However, they are accredited by the...

I guess that means we will have to wait a little longer to hear anything! Did you apply by the early application deadline or during the regular application time slot?

Has anyone on here heard from this program or been accepted?

I have noticed that the majority of prospective OT students on this forum have majors that are somewhat, if not directly, related to OT. I was just wondering if it counts against someone to apply to OT programs with a major that is completely unrelated to OT. My major is totally unrelated, but...
