Is there any advice you guys have on how I can improve for the schools I am still applying to that would be great! I feel like I’m competitive but still super nervous because I know OT school is so competitive. I am happy to have gotten one interview so far but worried because I know some schools that I applied to are already interviewing on a rolling basis and I still haven’t heard from them ( Midwestern and TJU). Any advice would be helpful!
