<p>Boston University has been my dream school for years now. I applied to the behavior and health major at Sargent College (with the hopes of then getting into the Occupational Therapy Masters program). However, i was offered acceptance into CGS with continuation into Behavior&Health at SAR.
I was fine with attending CGS until I visited the campus more and started looking around on different social media etc. and found out how students at BU look down upon CGS students (crayons glue scissors etc.) This was really troubling to me because Im not sure that i would want to attend a University where students look down on other students and ridicule them. Hopefully it is really not as bad as some people make it seem…
My dilemma is whether to choose BU CGS, continue into SAR then take my chances with getting into their (or another high ranking university’s) occupational therapy masters program OR just enter into one of the many 5yr advanced combined Bachelors/Masters program for occupational therapy (or in other words, the safe option lol)?
Please help me, this decision is incredibly hard for me to make, and hearing from others who have gone through similar experiences or have any knowledge regarding BU CGS, BU’s Masters in OT, or occupational therapy in general would be incredibly helpful!</p>
<p>You don’t want to go to go to a school where people look down upon other people? Unfortunately, no school meets that definition. It would probably be helpful if you named the other schools and the aid they are giving you if any as well. I don’t think the OT program is overly competitive but that could be changing with the increase in apps to sargent this year.</p>
<p>I got accepted to Xavier University, Quinnipiac University, and several others I wouldn’t consider for the 5 year OT program and got $20,000 for Xavier and $17,000 for Quinnipiac.</p>
<p>I mean I think if you worked relatively hard in CGS you could probably get into the sargent OT program but if you don’t wanna risk it neither of those universities would be bad</p>
