Hi Guys!
So I had my ICO interview yesterday. I stayed at the RC (Residential Complex). It was awesome and free! It was pretty much a dorm but with a private bathroom.
Now onwards with the interview: Here is a breakdown of what happened:
9:00 am: Welcome Introduction
9:15 am: Open file review one-one. They will look at your academic record (OAT/Grades) and have you complete a checklist to see if you have everything like pre-requistes and lors.
Around 9:45ish, you will have a 10-minute essay to write. the topic is very easy.
10:00: Bryant Anderson will come to talk to you about financial aid stuff.
10:30: A lady will come talk to you about Career Development.
11:00: You will be taken by a faculty member and go to their office for a one on one interview. Tell me about yourself, Why optometry, why ICO.... easy questions. Be sure to ask them questions too!
12:00: Two students will give you a tour of the school: clinics, EYEPOD, Lecture halls, labs, and the RC too.
1:00: Lunch with two students. I got lucky and had my interview the day of the eclipse. So I was invited to go see the eclipse. LOL it was awesome. This made this interview special for me.
2:00: Wrap-up- day was over.
Overall, it was very laidback. Nothing too difficult. Just be confident and be yourself. They are not there to grill you.
