Decision guide
How to use this ranking
Use this ranking when you want a balanced starting shortlist for OT school research.
Use it this way
- Treat the overall score as a first-pass screen, not an acceptance decision.
- Open profile pages to inspect accreditation timing, NBCOT history, format, and related rankings.
- Layer in cost, scholarships, fieldwork, admissions fit, commute, and personal constraints.
Decision factors
- Would this program still be attractive after comparing total cost?
- Do the program's NBCOT results and accreditation record support its claims?
- Does the location help or hurt my fieldwork and first-job goals?
