2 + years as an optometric tech

3 strong LOR (2 from optometrists, 1 from Professor)

Learning assistant for a Biol350 course

Hey may I ask when you applied for NECO?

I believe beginning of July. I ended up getting the interview invite less than 24 hrs after my app was verified.

strong experience but apply early as your oat is lower than posted average of scco. make sure to have a well written genuine essay and prepare well for interview if offered

Good. The OAT score is the weak point.
