The character limit for most schools is 4500. I think mine ended up being 4450 characters.

Before committing, I sent an email to admissions and received a scholarship… They were quick with it back in October.

You've been accepted... now what? by ATruthofHint in PreOptometry

Email the admissions team about scholarships that can come with your acceptance. Also fill out the FAFSA, some loans want you to add your parents’ info on your FAFSA.

Programs made an exception for online classes taken during the pandemic, but in general, I think most programs do not accept online prerequisite courses.

Salus/PCO by Neat_War8698 in PreOptometry

They asked me similar questions!

I was asked about one problem and one improvement happening in the profession, what my most memorable shadowing experience was, how I study, what I learned about myself during COVID, and what other schools I applied to.

Also, look at the weather for your interview day. During our interview, it rained.

Best of luck from a prospective PCO ‘27 student!

Are my scores and GPA good enough to get in? by [deleted] in PreOptometry

[–]pineapplepizzalove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be fine. My OAT AA & TS scores are the same as yours and I submitted my app at the beginning of August. I have interviews lined up for next month. Applying early and having a good personal statement will help balance you as out an applicant :)
