There isn't much on the Interview Feedback on NSU, I was wondering if anyone knows any specifics on the kind of questions they ask? Also, What are some good things that stand out about the school's program? Thanks

swiftiii said:I think one of the coolest things about Nova compared to other schools that I interviewed for is the integration with other health care professional students. You take basic courses with students from other fields, which I thinks helps you to appreciate the fact that optometrists need to work in concert with other health disciplines in order to give patients the highest level of care.
Of course it helps that the school is beautiful (I actually wrote that in my essay..."pleasing asthetics are conducive to motivating oneself to learn"...lol!)
Another thing that they mention is that due to the location of their facilities, a student is more exposed to various eye issues, esp due to the aging immigrant population that may never have had an eye exam.
As for the actual interview, I wasn't actually asked anything about being an optometrist. I don't know if it was because I had interviewed in a previous year or not, but I did feel that at least with the faculty interview, I was able to steer the conversation. The students that interviewed me (a new feature this year) seemed to have a list of various questions (I got the strength/weakness question as well as the why optometry too), though I am still trying to figure out one of the questions: "How would you schedule your study time?" Um, whenever I have a moment I am not in school, eating, or ??
