How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN forums, listed possible questions and made responses, mock interview with NSU 3rd year students, which really helped.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were unbelievable. All students were extremely enthusiastic and genuine to help in what ever way they could. The school of optometry is also integrated with other health professions schools i.e. dentistry, medicine etc.

What impressed you negatively?

NSU is changing some things for the 2007 entering students: NBEO 1 will be taken in the spring of od-3 instead of the end of od-2. The curriculum has more classes than any other school I am applying to-this can be see as good or bad. Mandatory attendance to ALL classes and labs.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, I researched everything about the school before applying.

What are your general comments?

I really enjoyed the interview. Fran and Jessie at admissions were so helpful and nice-which really does make a difference. The interview makes my decision to choose a school that much harder because I thought I was set on a school already.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
