ICO acceptances
Started by 123hawk4life
I just got my acceptance letter Wednesday, but no scholarship.
I interviewed 10/3. I was shocked I got the letter so fast, they told us at the interview we wouldnt hear from them until around October 20th.
I think they got my fax for the supplemental on a friday afternoon, and I was invited like the following Tuesday. It was overall pretty quick. But it was also really early in the cycle, like toward the end of august.
gpa is a 3.79 and oat is 330 aa and 340 ts
are you interviewing at ico?

I've applied, but haven't gotten an interview yet. I have a gpa of 3.4 and AA of 310.. not sure if I'd get called for an interview.. I really hope they'll give me a shot!
When did you apply? I recently applied, but I haven't heard anything from them either. Their website states that it takes about 4-6 weeks for them to send out supplemental applications to applicants they deem competitive and then comes the interview. Personally, I think you have a chance, at least form an academic perspective. Your statistics are very similar to their averages.

I heard ICO admission committee met yesterday to review applicants that has been interviewed and I'm wondering if anyone has heard or been accepted since.
I hadn't received anything via email or postal mail so I called them and found out I had been accepted. Try it. I'm still waiting for the official letter, though.
How long does it generally take from applying to ICO to get a secondary request?
2-3 weeks, I think.
What did the secondary include... could you PM me please...
Don't think a PM is needed. The secondary is nothing, really. It's just a fee, an online form, and a coursework sheet.
What did the coursework sheet include? A list of classes taken? Isn't that very redundant being that we filled out previous coursework through OptomCAS?
Yes and yes. It's a list of all the prerequisites and science courses, as well as the calculation of your science GPA. I think it's absolutely pointless but you have to do it.

I had my interview on 10/18th (a Tuesday), the committee met on the Thursday, I called on Monday to follow up on my application status and was told that I was accepted.
@optostud: My stats were very similar to yours, so I'm sure you'll hear back from them soon 🙂

I had a problem editing the pdf file with the course work. Is there a way to type it right on the form and then fax it?

Would anyone be able to share their interview experience? I'm interviewing on Tuesday and would love some feedback please!
Congrats on your interview 🙂

There's a tab near the bottom that you can hit to see the questions that have been asked. There were 53 responses by people, so that should give a pretty broad idea of what to expect!
Thank you!
How did your interview go? I have on tuesday! Please provide me with tips and what was your prompt essay about? I appreciate your feedback
For all of those who have been accepted, and plan on attending ICO next fall, I have created a Facebook group. The group is named 'ICO Class of 2016'. I have had complications getting the group to show up when searched for, so I have listed the direct link below.

I am anxious to begin meeting my future classmates, and congrats to all who have been accepted.

Can you tell me how your interview went? Or what questions were asked/prompt question? I would greatl;y appreicate that!
The interview went well! It is not intimidating at all, very relaxed and they just want to get to know you. There is a short written section before the interview itself, you have 10 minutes to write some qualities about yourself. The interview is basically a chance for you to talk about your experiences, the questions are pretty open ended so you can lead the conversation to go where you want and point out what you want them to know about you. Good luck!
