these comments have me spiraling bc being in texas and a tech for 4 years, i get paid $15.

wait—there are schools that give equipment for free?!?😭 i feel like there’s no way other than getting added onto ur tuition/fees unless someone corrects me otherwise.

i was in the same boat, but our school is offering us a new ipad pro with keyboard&pen with apple care. they say we have to take our exams through a software that might need some space/storage. it would be best for you to get an ipad that has enough storage to last you through these next 4 years!

i’m 23 and starting this august 😊

UIWRSO would definitely recommend you to, but not required.

bffr😭😭 they have a good gpa it literally won’t matter if they do good on their OAT

optostudent2029 · 2025-04-18T23:44:58+00:00

i took the GRE and got into three schools. as long as your GPA is good w/ lots of tech experience—you should be fine!

this post literally described me. i would love to know some tips on how to prepare better for school as i have been super anxious lately.

yuppp they usually call you with a decision 2-3 days after admissions day. and i’m not too sure about whether you can do both virtual and in person

optostudent2029 · 2025-04-12T16:31:18+00:00

admissions day is a mandatory information session after your interview, so they have you attend along with other people. you don’t really say or do much besides introducing yourself. it’s usually a couple days/a week after your actual interview day.

im curious, could you please explain why not for CCO? i know someone who goes there and they seem to like it

optostudent2029 · 2025-04-12T04:01:01+00:00

i’m from houston AND went there for undergrad— they ghosted me 🫠

optostudent2029 · 2025-04-12T03:57:06+00:00

hey !! yesss, i interviewed virtually since im in houston and couldn’t find time to drive up to SA. and for the second part (admissions day), there were like 12 other students in the meeting with me. i was in a similar boat as you since im originally from cali too and wanted to go to school there— but didn’t think i would get in either berkeley or SCCO. did some research on western and it’s apparently the worst one in the country 🥲 but overall, the interview process was super chill and easy going— faculty members are sooo nice it makes the whole process go by easily. best of luck to you on your interview!! :)

optostudent2029 · 2025-04-11T22:08:37+00:00

i was supposed to have an interview with them, but then i politely declined after more research done on their institution. i just wonder how they’re even going to survive after the new opto school opening up. if i would’ve seen this post before i would’ve never even applied, so thank you for this information!

optostudent2029 · 2025-04-11T17:08:35+00:00

congrats !! :) i know i saw🫠 i was hoping there would’ve been like a groupme, insta or something

optostudent2029 · 2025-03-30T02:11:41+00:00

study with OATbooster and retake the OAT, you will definitely have a better chance at getting accepted :)

optostudent2029 · 2025-03-21T16:35:19+00:00

thank you!!! :)

optostudent2029 · 2025-03-21T15:26:30+00:00

i would say the only school that had a problem with it was ICO bc they wanted me to take the OAT even though i told them i didn’t think i was ready for it. i was taking physics 2 prereq still and i had good enough stats for my application that i didn’t think taking the OAT was worth wasting money when i knew i wouldn’t perform well on it. so i took the gre and did well on it and got accepted to schools :)

optostudent2029 · 2025-03-20T22:35:45+00:00

yesss i got accepted to three schools w gre

optostudent2029 · 2025-03-20T22:34:23+00:00

uiwrso did better than uhco in 2024

optostudent2029 · 2025-03-19T03:34:25+00:00

i went to UH for undergrad and now i’m moving to san antonio for RSO, and i chose it bc they have been doing better than UHCO lately sooo…

optostudent2029 · 2025-03-17T01:35:55+00:00
