Hello all!

Just wanted to start this thread nice and early. I don't believe anyone has gotten an invitation to UC Berkeley School of Optometry yet this year but I am very anxious to know whenever they start coming out! Also, if anyone applied and is waiting please post here. Can't wait to get this ball rolling! 👍

Good idea on starting this thread! I've applied too and am anxious for the interview invites 🙂 From what I've heard in the past, I'm guessing they will go out around Jan 12 or 13. I'm trying to decide how much I want to torture myself and if I'll want to know if someone gets one before I hear something on my app...:scared:
 
I've been checking my phone every 5 minutes...nothing yet.

Does anyone know if they contact you as well if you are rejected? Or do you just never hear back from them?

I believe you get a rejection letter in the mail... but I am not completely sure.
 
I think either way we will get an e-mail. If it is a rejection letter then they will explain why one was rejected.
 
got the invite too, great excuse to drive to California! YES!! I suck at writing essays so my chances of being accepted are pretty slim. lol. hate essays

Got the rejection email today :/
Good luck to those who got an invite!

I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for wishing us luck! Honestly I was pretty flabbergasted seeing as I'm Canadian and my GPA/OAT are mediocre at best compared to everyone else, so I don't think I have a good chance of getting in but we will see.

I wish you the best in any other interviews you may have been extended!!
 
sorry to hear that, what was your GPA and OAT scores, if you don't mind me asking

GPA is 3.0
AA 330
TS 310

I knew I didn't have much of a chance going in, but you never know right? Anyway, glad to hear the good news for you guys 🙂
