great thank you!ill keep that in mind
Hi! I was in a similar situation where the tracking information said "picked up by individual at post office" so I do believe someone from SJSU goes and picks up the mail (and it just happened to be delivered on a day where they picked up the mail). With covid and people working remotely they probably don't pick up their mail every day. Maybe just keep checking and if it hasn't been picked up by the end of the week call the post office or the main SJSU office and ask about it.Hi everyone! I am also applying this cycle.
My question is: does anyone know about how they receive their applications? I mailed mine last week with 2 day shipping but for a while it has been saying that it is at the San Jose post office and is "available for pickup", so I am not sure of SJSU picks it up from a PO box or if needs to be delivered to their door! Pls let me know
Anyway, good luck everyone!!
Hi! I'm in a similar situation about the documents sent to the OT department. I sent mine off on 10/5 with an expected delivery date of 10/8. The USPS tracking number still says "In transit, Arriving Late." I tried contacting the post office, but they don't have any further information. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!Hi everyone! I am also applying this cycle.

I’ve had this happen with a manager. I sent her the request back in the first week of September. I’ve seen her twice and talked to her about it. We text Atleast twice a week. I’ve reminded her 3 times and she still has yet to complete it. She completed half and didn’t submit. So i removed her off of the recommendations list
I went ahead and sent an email to the grad assistant on Monday, but I’m assuming she has hundreds of emails to keep up with. I’m hoping it’s in the SJSU mail department instead of USPS
After so many friendly reminders I finally received my 3rd LOR from my professor! I am ready to submit! Yay!
After many friendly reminders, I finally got my last LOR from my professor. Thank goodness, I can now submit my application!
I heard back from the grad assistant that my application was finally delivered - USPS never updated my tracking, it still says "arriving late"Hi! Did you ever hear back from the grad department? I sent my app in 10/06 but it still hasn't made it to the department
I have! but also I did my undergrad there and they basically just renewed it.
oh, i see haha. does yours also say referred to grad dept?
yup!
so at the bottom of the home screen there is an admissions tab, click on view admission status and there it will tell you. I did send my transcripts in already so that's the only reason it says referred to grad dept probably. Oh wow I didn't know that you only need to send it by February whoops haha.
Below are my stats (I know not the strongest...)
Major: Public Health Sciences
GPA: 3.70
GRE: 155V, 149 Q, 4.0 AWA
Volunteer:
-80 Research Lab (Shadowing OT)
-100 Neurofeedback Tech (During Undergrad Practicum)
-121 Pediatric Clinic
-25 Animal Assisted Therapy
-112 Hand Therapy Clinic
I love it so far, everyone (classmates, professors...) are so supportive and understanding which is nice. Online classes are a challenge for me as I feel like I have to make much more effort than if I were to be just in person classes. I listen better in person as well.
Good luck to you guys!
Hello! Also, make sure to check your "To-do list" and "Messages". I was asked to submit information about when I submitted my transcripts so that they can match it to my application. The status then changed to "Referred to Grad Department"
Hi, is it true that they don't need the GAPE application until February? I was under the same impression, so haven't submitted my GAPE application yet (sent in my OT app on 10/1), but just had a slight freak out that it's delaying my application review process. Where did you get that information? I must've seen it somewhere too, or else I wouldn't have been so lax about submitting the graduate admissions app. Thanks!
Thank you!! Whew!
I heard from the graduate admissions assistant that "We typically send out notices beginning the end of November through the end of March. We notify you through both email and mail."
If it helps, for us last year it was typically January (early crowd) and one in December (re-applicant I believe). As for the others, most were accepted in Feb (the ones who turn in their apps in Oct and since I submitted mine late October, I didn't hear back until mid-March.
I turned in my physical application packet on Oct 1st and because I kind of messed up my OTCAS app (I didn't have it verified yet because SJSU was the first app I turned in through OTCAS), my application was timestamped for Oct 3rd. Best of luck to everyone!Hi ERandall, can you please share the timestamp of your application. Thanks!
12/1 8:40pm PST
Oh I meant like when was your OTCAS verified and when were you able to turn in the documents to SJSU?
