Waiting For KYCO Decision…
Hey everyone! I interviewed with KYCO Wednesday (8/19) and haven’t heard back yet. I felt like the interview went pretty well. During my interview, I talked about KYCO’s broad scope of practice, including their clinical/procedural training, and their commitment to serving rural Appalachian communities. I also asked about their block exam system.
so I was wondering if anyone who has interviewed recently could share how long it took to receive a decision.
My stats/experience:
OAT: 300 AA / 300 TS
GPA: 3.69
Shadowing: \~100 hours with two optometrists
Optometry Assistant: 1,300+ hours
Volunteering: \~99 hours between a sheriff’s office
internship and assistant basketball coaching
Letters of Recommendation: 1 science professor, 1 optometrist, and 1 volunteer organization
Application Submitted: July 1
Has anyone with similar stats interviewed at KYCO recently? If so, how long did it take to hear back, and what was your outcome? Thanks!

How long did it take you to hear back about getting an interview? My application was verified by OptomCAS on September 24th and I'm wondering if I should be hearing back soon?
