Transcript has receipts — What OTCAS sees and what to do about it

Your transcript has receipts—and OTCAS may see a very different academic picture than the GPA you have been trackingIn Episode 2 of Occupied & Unlocked: The OT Student Playbook, we discuss how retakes, grade forgiveness, withdrawals, previous institutions, science coursework, prerequisites, and earlier academic struggles do not simply disappear because your current university treats them differently. In this episode of Occupied & Unlocked: The OT Student’s Playbook, Dr. L breaks down what OT-school applicants need to understand before they submit.More importantly, this episode is about strategy. Dr. L walks through four important GPA views, explains why your additional-information response can completely change how an admissions committee interprets your academic history, and gives you a three-part framework: name it, provide context, and provide evidence. If your transcript includes a rough semester, course repeats, withdrawals, or even a fail-out and restart, the goal is not to pretend it never happened. The goal is to make sure the committee understands what happened next.
