It was a little more intense than the other interviews I went to (AZCOPT and NOVA). They ask you plenty of questions about Optometry and why you chose it. They also have you do an activity to test how well you can perform a certain task(may change from interview to interview). The interview lasted about 45 minutes for me and was conducted by two Optometrist professors. Just practice all the generic questions and you should do fine.

Interesting! Thanks for letting me know!
What task did they have you perform? Or are there certain things you suggest I practice doing before the interview?It was a little more intense than the other interviews I went to (AZCOPT and NOVA).

They had me tell someone how to duplicate a paper with a bunch of drawn objects on it by giving specific directions. The test was to tell if you could be specific about giving directions to patients.What task did they have you perform? Or are there certain things you suggest I practice doing before the interview?
