Good luck, I'll be in your shoes next year!
 
...and I was in your shoes last year! All the waiting is nerve-wracking, but you'll be through it all before you know it -- and then you'll be starting optometry school! :D

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! ;)

If your grades are pretty good, I'm sure they'll invite you for an interview. I won't even have a bachelors degree and they invited me for an interview (I never thought they would but I was like- oh what the hell, all they can say is no, so I applied anyway). Still not trying to get too excited though seeing that the odds are against me (no bachelors and they indicated on my checklist that more upper division courses would strengthen my app). But, I wish u luck!!! I'm sure it'll turn out good!
 
hey everyone,
I'm applying to ICO too, and I turned in my prelim app, transcripts, letters of recommendation, and the app fee. Do I have to send in essays too? I'm assuming that the essay is required for the secondary application, but I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything for the primary part. Thanks a lot
 
Wow, everyone's applying to ICO. Hey Petec, for primary appl, you only need to send in your OAT scores, transcript, and the application. They look at those first and if they like what they see, then they'll ask for your secondary, which is the essay and letters of recommendation...perhaps the interview at the same time too! (In my case). Good luck! Hope you'll get some good news in the mail soon!

Hey all,

Where is the best place to go book my airline ticket online? And for anyone who went for interview at ICO, what hotel did you stay?
 
Thanks eyedream I just wanted double check on that cause I haven't heard anything from them.
And just out of curiosity, is anyone taking the oat in october? I'm signed up to take at temple U. and I'm having a lot of trouble trying to prepare for this nightmare of an exam. Hopefully those kaplan practice exams will helpme but its hard to know where to start studying. any advice would be much appreciated as far as studying for this test. thanks a lot

My advice is to learn how to do the types of problems you see in the Kaplan exams, and then practice taking timed tests to get your timing down. Good luck!
 
michele, do u mean the Kaplan exams in the MCAT or DAT book?? or are there more/other Kaplan practise exams too?

I was assuming that Petec was talking about the Kaplan OAT prep class (which I assume has practice OATs) :confused: . I'm sure if you practiced the MCAT and DATs you'd do amazingly on the OAT, but if you only have time for one set of tests -- (obviously) you should go for the OAT practices since it'll be in the format you'll be seeing in October.

Wow, the OAT is coming up pretty soon, isn't it?
 
Hey all,

I'm taking my OAT again this October as well. October 25, right on my birthday!!!what a curse :eek: But anyho, the reason i'm taking it again is b/c my reading score is kinda low, that's the only freaking reason why i have to sit through this misery day again! Not to mention right on my 21st B-day :(

But for all that's taking, I think the MCAT prep books is very helpful. Most preferably Kaplan, but I use the Betz MCAT prep book and they do a pretty good job too (they have a lot of practice problem sets!) So for all of those victims out there like myself, let's hope this misery day will be over soon eh?:cool:

you won't find them in a book store (not common enough)... order them online.
 
Kaplan, Princeton Review, and MCAT material are a waste of time. I bought a book (can't remember the name) specifically for the OAT. The book was no nonsense and basically had the same questions as were on the exam. I took the OAT in 2000 and did very well with the help of this book.

Does Mr. Memphis go to SCO? What's your name? I'm from Memphis, so just wondering if there is such a small world out there...
