What are your general comments?

"I think the school is great. Just be prepared to asked questions that you usually don't find Novas website. I would recommend writing them down because during the interview I had more questions I wanted to ask, but nervousness got to me and I forgot some questions. The whole process was from 2:30pm to 7:30pm for me, which included a financial aid workshop, meeting with the dean, tour of the school, Q&A with the optometry students, and finally the 2 on 1 interviews."
