I interviewed on April 13th and now I'm on the waiting list. Anyone else on it? Or people who have been on it before do you know how the process works? Crossing my fingers I get in
did any of you guys, or anyone, find out when the deadline for the first acceptance deposit and second deposit is?...that way those of us on the waiting list can better estimate around what time we can expect to hear back when/if some people don't make that deadline
Hi,
I'm planning to apply for 2012, and PCO is one of the school I'm interested to get in. I have 3.24 GPA, and BS on Biology, I did more than 70 hours of shadowing/Volunteering in a Vision Therapy facility. Planning to take the OAT in late July. Do you think I have a chance to get in the PCO or any other schools? What is the GPA they actually look for in PCO? Would appreciate any suggestion. Should I do anything else just to be a better applicant? Thanks.

This is a profile for the entering class of 2010 for all the schools of optometry
Bioflare if you don't mind, what day did you interview?
i spoke with admissions on friday and was told that there are 100 people on the waitlist. doesn't that seem like a lot? kind of ridiculous? If they've had acceptance deposits paid by april 14th or even earlier, why would they continue interviewing into may and pad their standby list with so many extra students...
Can you say...for-profit.
I don't know the details with PCO but don't you put down a deposit and then may not get it back even if you do not attend?
O ok, my theory does not stand. Guys I would either find a job as an ophthalmic technician (I am one currently) or go to IAUPR (if you have money) and apply for advanced standing transfer into mainland schools after the first semester.
Anyone hear anything back yet? They said in the letter I got (same letter as mentioned in my previous post), that they will accept people from the standby list up through the first week of the semester).

I had an interview with PCO on March 19th and NECO on March 23rd. I was put on the wait list for both of them.
I am just wondering if I should still have hope in starting this September.
And how often do people on the wait list get accepted. plus how long before I hear from them
thanks a lot
I don't understand..I am wait listed for PCO to but I called NECO after March 23 and the admissions office told me they have spots left!
