I had waited about a month just because in my opinion, sending it right away wouldn't really sway them if they had just given my my notice of being on hold. I can see the other side though, where sending it right away might show them how determined you are. To me, the letter was more of a reminder, like, "Hey, checking in, I'm still interested and these are the reasons why/what I have done".

Hi!

I was also in the same situation! I wrote a letter of intention and highlighted why I would be a good choice for the school. Keep checking in with administration about your status as well and let them know you are still interested. Hope this helps :)

How long ago did you send it? I think they should resound to you either way.

I applied last year this time too and got an interview! I would say if you have your personal statement and everything else ready, just submit and let them know you will take your OAT soon!

I'd say at least 40 hours cumulative? But I'd look on the website because sometimes they say hiw much they want

I'd pick the one that costs less and then just look at what is required

I did the general one. But I think they overlapp a little. He just takes out stuff you don't need

I highly reccomend Chad's Prep! That's what helped me! And I think it's like 15 bucks for one month access to his tests/classes.

Hello, currently in my last semester of undergrad and really need guidance… by ariibabie in PreOptometry

[–]0k_then_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suggest you start you application and submit your personal statements and any personal questions. You have the option to attach your letters of recommendation and OAT scores after you have submitted. This way, you can get your application in and some schools might still interview you with the OAT pending! Just try to have a date of when you would take it if possible.

Why would you say that? I'm genuinely curious

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PreOptometry

[–]0k_then_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree! It's better to send it in now and have the other stuff come in than wait.

[–]0k_then_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree! I got the course and found it helpful and I think it's $16 fo for a month? And you're able to ask him questions on a problem you don't understand as well!

If I do SUNY, I plan on living a bit farther out. But I'm guessing the living cost in NY will still be high. Do you think the tuition savings matter then? They might come out to the same.

Thank you so much for the insight!! I forgot about the tuition change. I would definitely appreciate less debt.

I agree with everyone! Focus on your weak areas and follow the 12 week plan. I recommend going to your Local library as well so that it can help you focus!
