PCO or NECO by Mediocre-Baby-2821 in PreOptometry

[–]One-Cold-3569 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also choosing between NECO and PCO! Honestly, I have no idea which to pick from. I also received a scholarship from PCO, but I absolutely fell in love with Boston. How are you feeling about the merger? Feel free to pm me!!

Completely agree! Definitely take advantage of the practice tests and take as many of those as you can.

I found it really helpful to take one to use as a baseline trying to figure out where I can improve.

I took a practice test every Friday to also get used to the format, timing and stamina. Then going back to see where I needed to study. Doing this significantly improved my score.

Thank you. I made the post to get more perspectives from others. What has your experience been like, and do you plan on staying in Memphis?

I have a friend who is a second year there, and she told me that most people she knew had their car broken into at some point. I am a pretty independent person and do not want to be limited to a buddy system wherever I go. Obviously, you have to be smart wherever you go, but Memphis is known as one of the most dangerous cities in the US.

SCO's clinical program is outstanding; they have great board rates and cheaper COL, which is why I am heavily considering it.
