how do you know when optomcas has been fully processed? is it when the schools send emails saying that they received your optomcas? because i submitted my optomcas and i heard back from half the schools 2 days later saying they received it..does that mean it's been processed?

thanks in advance!

That depends! Pacific University said it takes up to three weeks to get a call back. I got an interview offer yesterday and they have had my stuff for two weeks. It took MCPHS in Boston about 5 days to send me an invite after receiving the information. I am still waiting on NOVA because I turned in their secondary app only a couple days ago. So I would say it is pretty fast. They don't do anything from Christmas to New years so I guess they rush things the week before...lucky for us! 🙂

MCPHS - are they actually taking application for Fall 2012, because I thought they are taking application for fall 2013???

 

[jdom29]

yup, they are accepting for fall 2012

Yeah, I know it is a risk to go to a new program...but atleast the school is not new. It isn't my first choice but it is my first interview (pacific is later) so I can't turn it down.
