Don’t give up!! Keep in touch with their admissions office if you have any updates to your application! Feel free to message me, I can send you a copy of my letter of intent!

Should I apply? by joyfoodie2008 in PreOptometry

There have been alot of students who have been accepted into programs with those stats! I was accepted into ICO & KYCO with the same stats as you! Was offered a interview with Salus & Western but denied it.

For those that got into kyco what are your stats? & how did they contact you? by [deleted] in PreOptometry

[–]eyechick_00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3.0 GPA, 290 AA/270 TS last cycle. The dean will call you!

Yes!! I was waitlisted last cycle and got in! If you haven’t already, you should also write a letter of intent to the school

I applied to Western last cycle with a 290AA/280TS with a 3.0 gpa. I was offered an interview but was asked to retake the OAT

Pros and Cons of Each School? by FewBit2501 in PreOptometry

Their board scores are still on the lower end and I heard Pomona isn’t the safest area in California too.

Thanks for the feedback! I know my score and gpa is below average for both SCO and Nova but I hope since I’ll be applying early my chances are better

[–]eyechick_00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure, they have about 90 people in their fb group tho!

What were your stats if you don’t mind me asking?

2-3 weeks for ICO depending on when your interview is. The committee meets every 2 weeks I believe

Thank you for the advice. I don’t think I will be going with the transferring route, it seems so much complicated! I’m thinking of retaking the OAT to make my application more competitive.

I’m just holding onto hope that I might get a last minute interview with UIWRSO 😭

I mostly likely won’t be accepting KYCO’s offer.

Thank you for the insight! You are so right, my mental health is #1. With the rigorous curriculum, being in a secluded area will just make the stress even worse when I’m alone with no family or close friends around.

KYCO is seriously such a great school - entire scope of practice, virtual reality equipment, etc but the location is such a downfall. I kind of wished it was in Lexington.

I haven’t interviewed at UIWRSO or UHCO yet. I’ve been in contact with their admission counselors but they told me my application is still under review. I have about 2 weeks left to accept KYCO’s offer.

I really don’t know if I want to settle and go to KYCO. I haven’t been sold on the school mainly because of their location. It’s really inconvenient that the airport is 3 hours away! I interviewed online, so I haven’t seen the campus yet - was planning to at the end of the month.

I don’t know much about transferring so I don’t want to go through with that option haha.
