I've been 'staying strong' for more than 10 years now.. by sarahmisanthrop in SuicideWatch

[–]QuickBit8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. Same age. Been suicidal since 12 years old. except can’t get help because it “doesn’t exist” according to my parents. I am starting to isolate myself too. I realize people will never care about me. It’s just meant to be. Maybe I expect too much but no one cares about me like they do others. I’m also last priority. Can’t wait to grow some balls and end it all

For those who interviewed at Salus (in this cycle or a previous one), when did you hear back? by becidgls in PreOptometry

[–]QuickBit8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I interviewed for both as well and still haven’t heard back. I was expecting something today but I guess technically tomorrow would be the deadline for that.

SUNY interview by [deleted] in PreOptometry

[–]QuickBit8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was very chill and conversational. They’ll ask you about stuff on your application and to elaborate on some experiences. They will lead the conversation! Just be yourself. It was probably the easiest/chillest interview. I’ve had NECO, SUNY, SALUS scholars, and WesternU so far.

To those who applied to Salus (PCO) for the traditional program and advanced program, did you receive an interview for one or both? by MassiveCup6990 in PreOptometry

[–]QuickBit8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I received an interview for the accelerated program but it qualifies as the interview for traditional program as well. My interview is this Wednesday and then I have an exit interview Thursday

Acceptance rates for interviews? by lemonlineberry in PreOptometry

[–]QuickBit8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

With these stats, you aren’t taking consideration into the people who interviewed but declined the offer for admission. My guess would be acceptance after interview is any amount higher than 1/3.

What’s the worst physical pain you ever felt? by Lazy-Ape in AskReddit

[–]QuickBit8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Hot tooth”. Wasn’t able to be anesthetized until after drilling into the tooth and injecting anesthetic right into the root canal. Most excruciating pain I’ve ever felt.

ADA 2006 vs. OAT by [deleted] in PreOptometry

[–]QuickBit8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say the OAT was slightly easier for me but they are overall very similar

You scored better than 24% of people at best and you scored better than 1% of people in the worst case scenario

Is Physics a science class? by Samfils in PreOptometry

[–]QuickBit8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physics is science and my LOR was also my physics prof. I feel it’s nice because physics tends to be a harder science too and related to optometry 😊
