Occupational Therapy Graduate School
Martha Said:
Biology major pursuing a career as an occupational therapist?We Answered:
Keep the same major but add A&P 1 and 2 (if it isn't already on your degree plan), Abnormal psychology, Intro to Sociology, Human growth and development, and statistics. OT programs may require physics, chemistry and a year of biology. Just look up the prereqs for the masters programs you hope to apply to and make sure you've taken those classes. Having the required classes is more important than what your major is. I know Kine and psych majors that had to go back and take classes because they didn't have them.You might even add those an an elective and still have medical school as an option if you change your mind again. (Extra two cents: start volunteering with an OT know to increase you chances of getting in)

I want to get into graduate school, but have withdrawn classes. Will this affect my chances of entrance?We Answered:
Usually, most programs will not look in depth at your transcript. Sometimes, they'll accept what you write on your application as truth (e.g., your GPA and/or they may ask for your GPA of core classes or GPA of your last 2 years). Generally, if they do look at your transcript, they look at 1) what courses you've taken 2) the grades you recieved in the courses that are applicable to the graduate program (e.g., if it's a psych program, psych courses) 3) your GPA of your junior and senior year. If they ask these questions on the application, they will probably not look at your transcript a whole lot.Generally, it's the graduate school who looks at your transcripts. If your test scores and GPA is high enough, they will pass your file on to the department, who usually looks at other aspects of your application.
However, it's really dependent on how competative the program is. If they recieve 20 prestine applications, they may have to find some way of "weeding" out applicants.
Your letter of intent is generally a good way of explaining foibles of your file (e.g., a weak GRE score, a poor grade or "W's" on your transcript).
