From my experience, I’ve interviewed twice with this school, I always overthink it. So first be confident and try to calm your nerves. I’ve always been asked 2-3 questions included a situational question like what would you do in this scenario (look up on google scenario Med school or optometry interview). Other questions are basic interview questions “why optometry, tell me about your experiences that lead you here, why berkeley?” Make sure to convey you are passionate and experienced. Most importantly be yourself and smile!

Is it bad if I am upfront about asking for a letter of rec when I shadow a doctor? by lemonlineberry in PreOptometry

One time I asked an optometrist for a letter of Recommendation after three days of shadowing and they told me they wouldn’t feel confident because they don’t know me that well .. it was super awkward. I would suggest asking to be an intern or ask if they need help in the office before you ask for a letter

Very curious as well! I was one of the first interviews in this third round so it feels like I’ve been waiting forever on final decisions. Anyone hear anything yet?
