"Three time I was mistaken for coming from another state. People of high authority failed to understand I was from West Virginia, not western Virginia. Also, they try and scare you with the first year coursework, making it seem almost impossible. This interview was the worst of the four I went to. They did not ask me any questions about my file, nor did they take any time to really get to know me, or learn about my passion for optometry. Other schools spent 25-40 minutes with me, whereas at NOVA they asked about four questions, and were done." Report Response

"Give more in-depth interviews, ask about work experience, extracurriculars, community service. A highly passionate student may be overlooked when only asked the most basic of questions." Report Response
