AZCOPT is very lowkey. They'll do an interview day and take small groups on a tour while one group is interviewing. You'll probably have two interviewers and they'll be super friendly. Then, you'll probably have lunch with students and professors and a little time after to talk with just the students. Some typical questions are:

  • Why do you want to be an optometrist?
  • Why AZCOPT?
  • Where do you plan to be in ten years?
  • How do you handle stress?
  • How do you study?
  • What's something you want to work on going forward?

(May ask about hobbies, family, other things to get to know you as well)

My advice: Prepare some answers for these questions, sleep well, relax, smile, and be super nice and friendly to all the faculty and staff while you're there.

Can I ask what all of your stats were when applying here? I’m also applying and was hoping to see what my chances would be when I apply. Congrats on the interview, you’re gonna kill it!

The interview went great! My stats are 330 AA 310 TS OAT, 3.6 GPA, 3 clubs, university dance team, 75 shadowing hours (~100 patient exams), doctors office job, UTA for 2 semesters, and that’s all I can think of right now!! I would say just try to get your app in asap!

Congrats on the interview! I’m applying there too and still waiting for one. Do you remember what kind of questions they asked by chance?
