Hey all!
Out of curiosity, does anyone know if evaluators/people who will submit your letter of rec have access to your OptomCAS application in full? Like, your transcript and all grades of repeated courses and whatnot? I know that OptomCAS send out links to an online evaluation portal but I'm not really sure what information about the applicant is given in said portal. I doubt that they would divulge personal details, but I'm about to provide the emails of my evaluators and now I'm getting super paranoid about what information they have access to (particularly one unsavory D that I got in some anthropology course and repeats of organic chem). It is what it is at the end of the day, I guess, but if anyone has more info and can help me out that'd be much appreciated. Thanks!

I don't believe they see anything on your application. To my knowledge they receive a questionnaire and a place to attach or write their evaluation. Best way to be sure is to contact Optomcas.

I'm writing a LOR right now, we don't get access to any of your information.
I did request a transcript/CV/Resume from the applicant himself and asked a few questions like "why optometry" so I can personalize the letter a bit more.

It's a one page questionnaire and I get to attach a .doc/.docx/.pdf as well for the letter portion

Hey! Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, I gave my resume and personal statement to my recommenders as that's all they wanted. But seriously, I very much appreciate that you replied, calmed my nerves quite a bit. Take care!
