rolling admissions

[chrissystar]

Hi! Im from Canada and Im not used to the rolling admissions process. I've already submitted all my applications/transcripts/pending reference letters. etc.. Im just waiting to write my OAT, which is in January. Do you think this is too late? Will my chances of getting in be smaller 'cause the class is either full or getting filled? I know I probably won't get an interview until my OAT scores get there.

yes, definitely for those schools with rolling admissions.

not necessarily. if you have impressive GPA, optometric related experiences, personal statements, and reference letters, it's possible to be granted an interview before your OAT score is received.
