Hey everyone!

I had a quick question regarding the supplemental. I am applying to Western, SCCO, Berkeley, ICO and Indiana. Under the School Designations part of OptomCAS, there are additional questions for SCCO and Berkeley. Do I have to complete these supplemental questions before I hit the E-Submit button? Will I have to apply to all these schools at one time?

Thanks in advance for the help! Good luck to everyone and congrats to those that have been accepted!
 
I had this question for a while. You don't have to submit all of the apps at the same time, you can select and just pay for the schools you want to apply to first. However, make sure that by the time you submit your first app. you have the main personal statements completed. Optomcas will only let you add the supplemental essays for each school not the personal statement. So if you are customizing each personal statement make sure you have your SCCO and UCBSO personal statements completed before submitting anything. Basically, by the time you submit your early apps. make sure that the only thing you have left to do are those supplementals.

Thank you for clarifying! 🙂
