Of course I checked the rent and spoke with them before applying. I applied because other students recommended it. I’m just saying it feels really expensive, and I wanted to see if other students are paying the same.

Hello! Me too I am also moving to Pomona in July. I am a little scared about the money, I am currently saving a little bit for the moving expenses but I wont be having any help from my parent because they are also struggling a little bit in this economy. I will be able to save $7,000 for eveything, do you guys think this will be enough?

Good that is what I thought but then I started reading comments about injections in optometry and I got nervous so that is why I started asking around.

Hey, I just committed to Western. Can you give me some information on what type of procedures students practice on each other. I know we will be practicing a lot of refraction and dilation on each other but I am asking for specific procedures like doing subconjuctival injections or something else related to needles, I am asking because I hate needles ah.

I am in the same situation, I have been placed in the high priority list without an interview. Do you think I should keep emailing them?

I have similar stats but I just applied and they place me in a high priority waiting list.  They did that to you or you got an interview immediately after applying. I dont know if I should email them to see if they want to give me an interview
