Hi,
just in general, what would be some good questions to ask during an interview with optometry schools? i have an interview at MCPHS soon so any ideas?

I'm not the type of person to want to ask the cliche questions so mine were a little different than what the interviewer was used to-- whether that worked to my advantage or not, I'm not sure, but they were questions I was interested in knowing the answer to. I'm interested in an ocular disease residency, so I asked what the strangest case they've seen was. This made them actually have to rack their brains, and I think they enjoyed that it wasn't a "normal" question. I also asked if they had the chance would they choose optometry again, and what the most rewarding part of their career has been. Those are a little more normal, but I hope they were more refreshing nonetheless.
