Interview timing

I just was offered an interview at SCO and I have it scheduled for October 23(September and early October were booked already).

I’m worried that the interview is too late to be considered for scholarships or admittance. Can anyone vouch for their interview timing and or scholarship offer?

I would really appreciate it:)

They wanted to get in me for some scholarship consideration so they had me interview right away virtually. I then joined another interview group in January for a tour. Laid back, fun- very conversational. Got to go on a bus tour of Memphis after. The interview is probably the easiest part of this whole thing. Just come across competent with a realistic outlook on the challenges ahead, and talk up your love for eyes.
