Has anyone who applied and got in this cycle decided on attending NECO? If so, what were the primary factors that led you to choose NECO? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
That's awesome! I'm strongly considering going there because I loved the city of Boston and the clinical program sounds great. Does anyone know how exams work (i.e. how many per week) and will all students get exposure to the New England Eye clinic at some point?
It's all down to preference. If the school clicks with you then go to it. Most Optometry schools will give you a solid education so that isn't really a big factor. People go to NECO for various reasons: the city, the clinical program diversity, the atmosphere of the school.i'd love to hear why people chose NECO as well. I'm having such a tough decision!

It seemed like they didn't have enough resources for their students. Students told me that they have to sit in a room downstairs and watch a simulcast of class or not go to class because the rooms are too small.
4. They tried too hard to "sell" themselves to me. I felt like I was about to buy a used car, and I just didn't like that feeling.
lmao wow I would never go to an overcrowded school like that. Although my school SUNY will also have a 10% increase in students for each of the next two years.
Why is SUNY increasing class size when we have new schools opening and a surplus of ODs?
For NECO, is it required to have LORS from 2 science professors? Would it be ok to have 1 opto, 1 science prof, and 1 other?
I had 1 opto, 1 science prof, and 1 manager from work, and got in
