It varies a lot every cycle, typically between 2-6 spots. I remember someone on this forum said they got in at number 13 back in 2013 I believe.

For those of you who don't get in or are waitlisted, don't be too hard on yourself and just focus on improving aspects of your application that you feel are lacking. I applied last year and was waitlisted around #15. For myself, I knew it was my interview that let me down, so I spent the time practicing my interview skills. Thanks for saying this! I definitely think it was my interview also that let me down this first go around. Will be back next year. Congrats!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTfollow2018 Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I received my offer on Friday as well. This was my second time applying with a rejection last year at the application stage. Good luck to those who were waitlisted or rejected this year. For me, a year where I reflected on how I framed my letter of intent, had a little extra time to boost my GPA, and prepare through relevant experience seemed to help me. Although, I was disappointed last year, for me specifically, I feel like this time forced me to reflect further about why I wanted to be in this program and how to get there. Wishing you all the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I interviewed last year and honestly it was a really strange interview for me, nothing like any other interview I've ever done. It's not really like a typical interview style that you'd intuitively prep for. My advice would be to prep all the normal interview questions that come up ('OT interview questions for grad school' search on google) plus know a lot of ongoing issues, hot topics, conflicts, and current events and struggles in the field of OT and some creative/guided solutions for said problems. Examples of questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
