Application Overview: Reapplicant-Status

 A special message for those applying during the 2009-2010 admissions cycle for Fall 2010 entry into an OD program:

Starting on July 15, 2009, applicants for optometric study in the United States and Puerto Rico will use a common application service, OptomCAS. By utilizing a common application service, prospective students will file one application that can be sent to multiple schools and colleges of optometry. The Admissions and Student Affairs Office is thrilled to be a participant OptomCAS school as we strive to make the application process more efficient and convenient for you.

PLEASE NOTE:

Reapplicants must apply through OptomCAS and Berkeley Optometry will no longer hold application materials over from one cycle to the next. Therefore, if you are reapplying for the 2009-2010 admissions cycle, transcripts and letters of recommendation submitted to our office in a previous application cycle will not be considered; all transcripts and letters of recommendation need to be submitted to and processed by OptomCAS. See Regular-Status Students for detailed instructions.
