Thanks cpw, eyeguy and jubileee for all your help. I have yet another question..I'm trying to decide on the seventh school to apply to. If any of you would know which of these schools are private as opposed to state school- Indiana University, Northeastern State University, Illinois college, Southern College of optometry and Pacific University? Thanks everyone!!

I BELIEVE SCO, ICO, and Pacific are ALL private. I think IU and Northeastern are public.. but I'm not too sure about northeastern. Seven schools? damn girl! Go get 'em! :)

Thanks cpw...you seem to know your stuff :) Thats great!

Thanks cpw, I think you're right about all of them except Pennsylvania...Penn is private..You've helped me to narrow them down Thanks again :)

PCO is def private. Good luck Christie! :D

Of course as far as cost goes, most of the state schools are just as expensive as private unless you qualify for instate tuition....
