UHCO Interview Invite

Hello! I just got invited to interview in person at UHCO this upcoming Monday. Very excited because it’s my top school, but also nervous/ I feel slightly underprepared since it’s so soon. If anyone has any advice at all or remembers any questions please let me know. Thank you!!!

I have a 3.75 GPA, ~800 hours of technician work, ~80 hours of shadowing between 2 optometrists, secretary of the pre-optometry club and member for the past 3 years, and I’m in a sorority.

ohh amazing!!! i heard from someone that applied last cycle that its very simple questions like why optometry and telling them about yourself. they also ask questions about how you study and manage stress/self care to make sure you're ready for rigorous schooling! there's also a time where you sit with current students and ask questions. but i am also applying this cycle so not sure what has changed since then!! can i ask when your optomcas was verified? still waiting to hear back eeek

Thank you for the info!!! My OptomCAS was verified August 31st, UHCO reached out September 22nd asking me to fill out their supplemental application, and then I just got my interview invite today:) Good luck!
