I have an interview with CCO coming up and was wondering if anyone who has interviewed there could share how the interview was! What was the format like, and what kinds of questions did they ask? Any insight would be super helpful
Hey everyone, I just received an interview invitation from NECO and I’m so excited!! For those who have interviewed with NECO before, do you have any tips or advice on what to expect or how to prepare?
I’m also debating between doing the interview virtually or traveling to Boston for the in-person interview. I’m leaning toward going in person, but I’m not sure yet. For anyone who has done both/has an opinion, did you feel like the in-person interview was worth traveling for? I’d love to hear your experiences!
Hey, I’m applying this cycle to NOVA, NECO, MCPHS, CCO, Salus, and UHCO and would love to hear from current students, alumni, or anyone familiar with these programs.
One thing that’s really important to me is the city/location. I spent my undergraduate years in a small college town that honestly felt like it was in the middle of nowhere, and I’d really like to live somewhere with more to do during optometry school.
For those of you who attend (or have attended) any of these schools:
- What is the city like?
- Is there enough to do outside of school (restaurants, coffee shops, events, outdoor activities, etc.)?
- Did you enjoy living there?
- How’s the overall quality of life and cost of living?
- How would you describe the culture of the optometry program? Is it collaborative or more competitive?
I’d love to hear both the positives and negatives. If you had to choose again, would you still pick your school and city?
Thanks in advance, I’d really appreciate any insight!
