Mistakes to Avoid in your Optometry School Application | Wednesday, August 7, 2024 | Noon-12:30pm PT | As Admissions Officers, one of the most common questions we get (or sense) from prospective students is "What mistakes do people make on their application that cause them to not get into optometry school?" In this webinar, we'll cover what SCCO looks for in competitive applicants and the most common mistakes people make in their application that hold them back from getting an interview invitation. We'll also share tips on things you can do throughout your application to help you stand out! Click here to RSVP.
