Does anyone have an interview scheduled for Southern yet? I have one next month, and I was wondering how it was and if anyone had any tips.

Thanks!

Not a current applicant, but I was in your shoes not too long ago and will be a first year at SCO in the fall.

From what I recall, SCO's interview was extremely low key. There was one closed interview with a faculty member then a "counseling" session where they went over your academics/ECs with you to make sure your prereqs were in line.

The interview was extremely laid back and really, was just a conversation. Just know what you're going to say for many of the typical questions (why do you want to be an optometrist, etc.) and it'll be a breeze!

Hope this helped and good luck on your interview!

Thank you for the tips! How fast did you find out about your acceptance?

I think it was about 2 weeks before I heard back. Might have been a bit longer though...
