We will start accepting applications for the 2011 Entering Class on July 15, 2010 via the centralized application service OptomCAS!

You do not need to have completed all requirements for admission at the time of application. As long as you will have taken the OAT by March 1, 2011, and successfully completed all academic requirements for admission by August 2011, you may continue with the application process. However, we encourage you to apply early and not wait to submit your application materials on the deadline.

Steps to Apply:

1. Submit the OptomCAS Application (including personal statement, transcript(s) and letters of evaluation).
2. Submit the ICO Supplemental Application (only those deemed competitive by the Admissions Committee will be invited to submit the supplemental application).
3. Request your OAT scores be sent to ICO. Visit www.opted.org for OAT information.
4. If English is a second language, request your TOEFL scores be sent to ICO. ICO’s institutional code is 1317.
   

Once all of your application materials have been received, the Admissions Committee will review your application and inform you of your application status within 4-6 weeks. Selected applicants will be invited for an on-campus interview. In most cases, you will be notified of the Admissions Committee's decision within 2-3 weeks after your interview. The majority of communication will be sent via e-mail, so be sure to update us with any changes to your contact information.

Re-Applicants

Although ICO will have your prior application materials on file, all re-applicants must submit an application through OptomCAS, including official transcript(s). If re-applicants are applying to more than one school, letters of evaluation must be submitted through OptomCAS as well.

Transfer Applicants

Current optometry students in good standing that would like to transfer to ICO, should contact the Office of Admissions for directions on the application process.
