No not yet. I didn't know there was one until yesterday when I spoke to the admissions office. Are you on it? If so, how many students are on it so far?

 

[sbopt87]

Yes I am. Here is the group https://www.facebook.com/groups/463295443724279/ incase others dont know. Right now 40 but about 5 or more are admin or older students.

Congrats on getting in guys. If anyone is looking for a place to stay, I highly recommend The Place at Castle Hills. The apartments are really nice and big, in a great safe location, and the rent won't kill your budget at all which is great considering how much you are already spending. If you have any more questions feel free to message me.

Just got accepted!

Just got accepted!

Congratulations!!! I was a late applier and have an interview this Friday. I was wondering how long it took you all to find out that you were accepted once the interview was complete? Thanks!

I had an interview on a Friday as well and after the interview, they told us that they will meet that to discuss about the interviewees while we had a tour of the school/clinic. I got an informal email of my acceptance until the following Monday, so it was a very quick process!

They also send you a letter in the mail too, with the exact same information. And the forms printed out and with an envelope so you can mail the deposit.

Awesome, thanks. Are you attending RSO?

I actually am! How did your interview go?

I actually am! How did your interview go?

I think well, but we shall see! Still to be determined... Battle of the Flowers was Friday, so everyone got out of work at half-day. So, they won't be meeting until today, rather than Friday afternoon, to determine acceptances. They said we could find out this afternoon or tomorrow morning. The suspense is killing me! haha



UPDATE
------------------------

Submitted my matriculation fee/information today! So I will also officially be attending UIWRSO this Fall! 🙂 Wahoo!

 

[XIOTIS]

I am, and I think I interviewed the same day as you did... 4/26.

Hey everyone!!!
I'm a UIW alum, I've been teaching for a while but now I'd like to go back and pursue optometry like I originally planned. Can anyone let me know an approximation of stats being accepted. I know it's late in the game, but it's worth a shot!
Thank you!

I am looking for a roommate or two for this school year. Does anyone else need a roommate/know anyone who is looking? I would prefer to live with another girl or two, and also another student. I have a cat and I want to live relatively close to the school (within 10 minutes driving). Thanks!
