Dwight: Actually, my first impression of Ohio State Optometry was going to Optometry Day of 2018.
Dr Earley came in, booming voice, and I was like, "Man, I like that guy!" I-DOC was probably my second or third experience with the OSU faculty during that time. It really illuminated how much OSU cares about diversity and inclusion.
The fact that we have a comprehensive interview takes into account everything--background, education, work experience, oat scores, and there's no hard cut off for any of that, which is great because, you know, everybody excels at different things, and everybody comes from different backgrounds.
The fact that OSU takes all that into account before it even selected students is incredible.
Additionally, the faculty at OSU's College of Optometry does a fantastic job of having SocialEyes, which is a chance for small groups of students to get together along with the faculty and just go have some fun, go explore the city, and that's awesome!
