Hey there, I am a Canadian student who recently got accepted to both NECO and CCO. I'm having tough time deciding which school is better overall (i.e. passing rates, class schedules, rent, traveling accommodations, clinic time, etc.). Can you guys give me some pros and cons for each of these...

Hi everyone, could you please share your experience with this: which score do you think is more important for optometry schools? Total science or academic average I got a good total science (390), but unfortunately, 340 for academic average and I'm really worried about it:(

Hi there, I am currently going into my last year of my undergraduate in biology/ psychology. I had originally wanted to go into medicine and pursue ophthalmology; however, I do not see myself in school for that long. I had been prepping for my MCAT all summer and have had a change of heart and...

Hey all, So I'm having a hard time deciding between schools at the moment. Thankfully I have been accepted to Midwestern (Chicago), Western, NECO, NOVA and I have my last interview tomorrow at PCO. Right now I'm keeping my options open hoping PCO will really wow me, but I'm between 2 schools...

I posted something similar to this before but now I've finished my last semester and am starting my new one. So I've been accepted to ICO, NECO, both with $40k scholarships. I'm kind of worried because I dropped 3 classes in the fall, I was originally in 5 classes and so I'm only going to get a...

Hi recently got accepted to PCO, ICO, and NECO. I'm having trouble deciding between which school to attend. If any first years or beyond or other people who recently got accepted could provide input that'd be great. Here's my reasoning for each school. 1. ICO Pros: - Offered a 40k...

Hi everyone!! I have come to the point in the interview process where I have to choose where I wanna go. I think both of the schools have great programs and am wanting to hear other opinions. For all of those who have interviewed/been accepted/attended either of these schools, could you give...

Hi all, I am new here, and though I have read through similar topic threads, I believe there is not much info on CCO. Plus, NECO has changed a lot recently adding a lot to their clinic which I think should be considered. I have got acceptance from all three schools. While I'm very grateful...

Hey guys! I applied to NECO and Salus and got interview offers from both of them. Would it be stupid to turn down the Salus offer and only go to the NECO interview?

Hey everyone! I've been nervous about my shadowing hours and wanted to see people's thoughts on my chances of getting into schools. I applied to NECO and SALUS. GPA: 3.8 average, 3.7 science Majors: Biology and Neuroscience OAT: 360 AA/ 370 TS Extracurriculars: ~400 hours of volunteering (blood...

Hi, guys. I was recently accepted into both NECO and PUCO. I'm having a hard time deciding on which program is best for me. I was really impressed with NECO's clinical program, but I know that Oregon has a greater scope of practice so I'm not sure if I would learn more there. Does anyone have...

Hey guys! So I was accepted to NECO but also have an interview coming up with ICO and need to make some big decisions soon. Anyone have any thoughts, opinions or recommendations to share on which program I should choose?

Hi y'all!! I got accepted into a few optometry schools, but decided to attend NECO this coming fall. Since the acceptance, I have been reading a lot of student blogs regarding optometry school because, well, I want to know more and can't wait to start! I came across one student blog from ICO...

Hi everyone, I submitted my application to NECO yesterday and received an invitation for interview today. Faster than I thought! So I had missed a little detail when I applied to NECO. They said they require 2 letters from 2 different professors, but I only have from one prof, therefore, my...

Hi everyone! I was recently doing some research on the schools I have been accepted to but I still can't decide which one I want to go to. So far I'm liking ICO better since their clinic is attached to the school and the residential complex is just right across the street, but I'm most worried...

Hi everyone, I was recently accepted to SCCO and have been holding a seat at NECO since November. I wanted to see if anyone had any advice or insight into each of these schools. I'm originally from the East Coast so NECO is closer to home, but that isn't a huge factor for me. The tuition is...

Soo.. on ICO and NECO websites it states the prerequisites that are needed to apply. However, some include courses like english, psychology and a social science. I'm just wondering for the science mean GPA would they strictly only use science courses or would it also then include the english and...

Hey guys, So I am having a dilemma. I have been accepted to NECO around 2 weeks ago and I just interviewed at ICO two days ago. I haven't received an acceptance from ICO yet but they told us to start thinking about where you want to go if you were accepted since I only have 30 days and the...
