Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

The interview questions themselves were behavioral, but afterward they might start asking personal questions based on how you answered. Like for me, they asked me what I like to do in my spare time and I said I liked to travel, so they asked me what was the most beautiful place I've been to.

How did you prepare for the interview?

I did a couple of mock interviews and looked up behavioral interview questions online to review.

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness and enthusiasm of the staff and students. They really take the stress off your mind and are so accommodating. Also, the new facilities are clean and cutting-edge. The optometry school and eye care center are new too. It's nice to know I'll be learning and working in a nice and clean environment. Plus, they actually offered lunch and snacks this year!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Compared to the optometry school, the area itself doesn't seem very nice and doesn't look like it offers much to do either. Also, the classrooms and clinics are all painted in white...a little hard on the eyes after a while.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

After the interview, everything is a breeze. You'll get a presentation on curriculum and financial aid. Afterward is the pre-clinic tour with staff and campus tour with students. You get to eat lunch with students too. Eat breakfast before and wear comfortable shoes!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It'd be nice to get an itinerary of the day beforehand so we can get an idea of what we're going to be doing on interview day. For example, I didn't know lunch was going to be offered so I brought a bunch of food with me and had to carry it around all day.
