My app was verified today!
I have an interview scheduled for Fri, Sept 21st, at U. of Missouri-St. Louis. They offered Sept 10th (a Monday), but I asked for a Friday instead to accommodate my work schedule. The funny thing is I got the offer before my OptomCAS application was officially mailed (though I had submitted the fee for UM-St. Louis a couple weeks prior), so I think the offer was extended just based on the info in the school's own supplementary application.
They actually have access to most/all of the OptomCAS app before it's "mailed" I think. I don't know what the know "mailed" thing really means...but one admissions rep told me they can see everything we've put into OptomCAS the same day we submit it. I think it's just the official version of our application that goes into the "mailed" thing...and what schools can see earlier is technically unofficial.
6'2", 180 lbs, 4.6 sec in the 40-yd dash, 28" vertical leap...
But seriously: OAT scores are 340 for both TS/AA, GPA ~3.75, about 25 hrs total shadowing/volunteering.
(All joking aside: wouldn't applying to optometry school be way more fun if it were like the NFL Combine, with skills competitions on Interview Day? Maybe throw in a dodgeball game at the end: winning team gets admitted.)
Those are solid stats! I can't find their supp App. how did you find it? lol

When did you turn in your applications, and roughly what was the time frame like? As in, how long did it take to get your app verified and all that hoopla?
I turned in my application on July 17th (transcripts and LORs were already in at this point). It took roughly around 5 days for each individual school to get mailed and around July 25th for the GPAs to get calculated. & August 1st I received a phone call.
Anyone get interview offers for PCO (Philly) or Indiana yet?
Nope, But last cycle I received one from PCO on August 25th so you should be hearing from them soon.
awesome. i am waiting eagerly to get an interview at pacific, but my optometrist hasn't written my rec letter yet and it's holding up my app 🙁
is it for sept 21st?

congrats! I also received an interview for pacific today too 🙂
SCO already began interviews.
Yes it is for the 21st. If your optometrist is holding up your app then I would contact him and let him know your situation. Let him/her know how that your application is ready and you would like to apply early.
Congrats!! What day is your interview? Mine's on the 21st of Sept.
DID anyone get one from PCO?

when did they receive your app's? they got mine on 14th August so im assuming you got an interview today because they got your app's earlier than mine?

Has anyone gotten an interview from NOVA yet?
hey what are your stats? I am still waiting to hear from them.
Youtube baby! They got a lot of great mock interviews you can watch. I am really excited for my interview too! What's your name? It would be cool to run into each other while we're there.

Hi Paymaun,
youtube sounds like a good idea. I found the ones that SCCO posted really helpful. I just bought my plane ticket a few days ago. things are starting to get real serious. are you from around oregon?

I also received an interview invitation from PCO. Do you know when your interview date will be?
I was wondering if you knew of any cheap hotels nearby or what your means of transportation will be to the campus? Any info is much appreciated since I've never been to Pennsylvania.

Was your application officially mailed to schools before your GPA was calculated?
