Hey guys.

I was wondering if anyone else who has applied to KYCO has heard back from them. I applied about 2 weeks ago, and haven't heard anything other than that they had received my application. I also applied to Salus and ICO. ICO put me on hold pending my grades from this semester. Still silence from Salus. My stats aren't the greatest, so these are just kind of anxious times for me.

Thanks!

Do you mind sharing your stats? I plan on applying to ICO and KYCO as well.

Would you mind if you update us about your stats and school decision?

Sure! I have a 3.0 GPA as a biology major. I have about 35 hours of shadowing experience, and have worked in an optical lab grinding and edging lenses for the past few months. I have the usual extra circulars (pre optometry club, etc). OAT was 290 AA and 270 TS. I just heard back from KYCO on Friday. I have an interview there soon.

You made my day! Thank you so much for sharing, I am going to apply to KYCO now. Best of luck and I hope you get in.

I have not. That information isn't on their website. I think I saw somewhere on another forum that it was something like 51%, but to the best of my knowledge that hasn't been verified.


Edit: Now I see that you're the person who posted that statistic, so I'm sure you know more about it than I do.

Any update about which school you will attend? Did you get accepted to KYCO?
