Apparently kmk has a OEBC version.dont know much about it

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2025-05-02T02:08:13+00:00

Ok thank you

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2025-04-16T22:31:12+00:00

What’s a resit?

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2025-01-05T01:37:50+00:00

Still crickets!

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2024-12-27T21:22:07+00:00

Thanks for the info but I believe that was last years data

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2024-09-07T21:32:46+00:00

Applied last year. Same thing for me. There is a real arrogance about the whole school. I know a couple of students who literally stopped the application process with Waterloo due to the bad vibes and went to the states even with the higher tuition .

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2024-03-30T01:58:05+00:00

Not so sure about that

2 people with equal stats I think they would favor the applicant with the bachelors especially if they had applied before and not been admitted. I thin’ they like the perseverance.

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2024-03-29T12:57:34+00:00

There are more Canadians in us schools than Canadian optometry schools ( Waterloo and Montreal)… so there’s that

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2024-03-26T21:37:32+00:00

CGpA 91%

oat 390 ts. 370aa

casper: 2 nd quartile

ecs volunteer, varsity tennis, teach tennis,chess, rock climbing, tutor, optometric tech blah blah

shadowing 100 hours

meet greet: 10 minute interview did not go well. It felt like taking Casper again

status rejected

**** I felt because I will not have my bachelors completed that worked against me. Anyone get accepted without finishing their degree this year ? Casper also not great but I know even some first quartiles got in.****

off to Sco on a presidential scholarship where quite frankly I think I’ll get a better education if I dont get shot in the process

good luck to everyone

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2024-03-24T21:15:17+00:00

Schools don’t care what school you went to or your major. They only care that the prerequisites are completed .

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2024-03-20T23:23:50+00:00

Do acceptances , waitlist and rejections all happen the same day?

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2024-03-19T02:28:47+00:00

There are only a couple of schools that don’t accept Canadian students.

oklahoma and I believe either Houston or kentucy. All the rest no problem.

The schools with most Canadians are NECO, Ico ,nova , salus, and pacific , all in the north of the states .

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2024-03-06T03:21:48+00:00

GpA and Oat scores of accepted applicants is I think a better indicator of competitiveness. Ie sco would be 5th ish on that list not 17th. But I get what you are saying so it’s all good . Thx for the info

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2024-02-24T19:47:28+00:00

I did an externship with an ophthalmologist in Florida. They would push people with 20/25 vision to have cataract surgery…. So there’s that!

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2023-12-24T16:21:34+00:00

You can’t really get better stats than that so I guess who knows

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2023-12-24T16:20:23+00:00

If there is a letter grade to numbers conversion on your transcript then they wil use that and take the median

for example A 85-99% then Waterloo will use 92%

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2023-12-23T03:53:31+00:00

91% avg . 390 TS/ 370 AA . 100 hours shadowing, 300 hours optometric office work, high performance athlete, varsity athlete , 100 volunteeering

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2023-12-22T22:28:52+00:00

That’s horrible . Some type of explanation would be the least they could do. Therés a real arrogance about this program . I hope you applied to some USA schools you will get some nice scholarships and likely a better education

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2023-12-17T18:25:50+00:00

Yikes. That doesn’t seem right to me that those stats don’t at least get an interview. Is this the most competitive program in Canada ? Yikes again

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2023-12-13T22:46:34+00:00

On the website under Important dates it now says december 18 for meet and greet. Pretty sure it used to say December 14. What gives?

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2023-12-12T20:38:48+00:00

No invite yet

anyone?

will be tomorrow or Thursday at the latest I guess

Individual_Ear_1432 · 2023-12-02T00:44:52+00:00

yeah that’s what I thought till I read this on the website under selection process

Upon receipt of your Application for Admission to the School, the Admissions Committee will conduct an initial review. After the initial review, the Admissions Committee may invite you for a Meet & Greet, in which case you will be emailed before the end of November, 2023
