We will begin accepting applications for the entering class of fall 2007 on August 1, 2006. Beginning August 1 you will be able to apply to ICO in one of two ways:

 

- Currently our web application is unavailable. We expect to have it available soon. However you can download and print the application.

2) Request that your Registrar's Office place your official college transcript in an official sealed & signed envelope and include it with your application. (Transcripts that are opened will not be acceptable.)*
3) Request that your evaluators complete the ICO evaluation form or submit a letter on official letterhead. The form or letter should be submitted in an official sealed & signed envelope with your application. (Letters that are opened will not be acceptable.)*
4) Submit the completed Application for Admission, including the Pre-Optometry Coursework Sheet listing all science courses and grades, letters of evaluation, official transcript(s), Autobiographical Statement and $75 application fee to the Office of Admissions.

6) Applicants for whom English is a second language, request that your TOEFL results be sent to ICO. (ICO’s institutional code is 1317.)

Upon receipt of your application, the Admissions Committee will conduct an initial review of your materials. Expect to hear from us within 4-5 weeks of receiving all application materials. After the initial review of your file has been completed, the Admissions Committee may request that you schedule an interview and/or submit additional information.

Interviews for the Entering Class of 2007 will be conducted from September of 2006 until April of 2007. Details of the day are provided upon invitation to interview. In most cases, you will be notified of the Admissions Committee's decision within two weeks after your interview.
