Update: They should be sending out their admissions decisions via mail TOMORROW! Goodluck guys.

I just applied to WMU's Occupational Therapy program for 2014 too! I'm a nervous-wreck waiting on the letter. We just turned them in the 1st and I've already been checking my email and mailbox like crazy. I don't think Westerns grad program looks at overall GPA though. When I talked to the adviser I was told they only look at the last 60 credit GPA. I think WMU also sends out their denial and acceptance letters in chunks. I have heard of some of my classmates getting denial letters as fast as 2 weeks, while others didn't get there letters for a month. My stats- Last 60 credit GPA- 3.8 Pre-req GPA-3.9 Shadowing- 30 hours in acute care, 30 hours in inpatient rehab, 100 hours in outpatient neuro recovery, 40 hours in hand therapy, 40 hours in vision rehabilitation. 240 total hours. I work as a Patient Care Tech with pediatric patients right now. I have also worked as an in home caregiver to an elderly woman for 2 years working on ADL's with her. I did my internship for the Health Science degree at a facility working with mental health patients doing ADL's and other things as well. I also was a note-taker at a community college for disabled students. I have done volunteer work as well, various camps for children with disabilities, etc. You sound like you have a good chance getting into the program
