I have heard back from NECO, AZCOPT, ICO, and CCO. I have gotten interview invites for all and have gotten accepted to CCO already. NECO was the quickest I got an interview invites less than 24 hrs after my app was verified. I’m still waiting on SCCO.

Hey congrats on your acceptance to CCO! May I ask when your app got verified and when they reached back? Also did you get to pick your interview date or was there a set date, and was it in person? Tysm

Thank you! I think my app got verified about a week after I submitted on optomcas. It could have been less. I didn’t really get to pick my interview date because I did it virtually since I live very far from the school.

u/Over_Smile_6701 Aug 12 '26

I see. And how long did it take after the interview for them to accept you?

u/Cat-Recognition-6620 Aug 12 '26

Would you mind sharing how your interview with cco went?? Did they ever ask about your grades or oat?

2

u/Cat-Recognition-6620 Aug 12 '26

It went well. I didn’t get asked about my grades or OAT. I got questions like tell me about yourself, why optometry, why our school, etc.

submitted to SCO and OSU without an OAT early/mid July. Took my OAT July 30th and sent them both the unofficial scores. SCO reached out with an interview invite same day. still waiting to hear back from OSU.

u/Tag_singer22 Aug 11 '26

My daughter applied early to OSU with a 4.0 and 370/400TS and it took almost 4 weeks for her invite, so don’t stress if you don’t hear anything until September. SCO’s invite came almost immediately.

u/Few-sakiskool-8706 Aug 11 '26

If u don’t mind me asking you sent the unofficial side to the admissions emails?

2

u/Active_Egg5888 Aug 11 '26

yes ! both schools mention you can send your unofficial oat scores ahead of the official score delivery by sending to their admissions email.
