QUESTION 19 OF 30

How does your family feel about you becoming an optometrist? Do you have a great deal of support?

The interviewers want to know that if you were accepted into their school that you would have the support required for your heavy and challenging work load.

Discuss a bit about your family such as anyone who lives near you or how your family expresses their excitement for your career. You can also mention anyone in your family who may have had a similar path in optometry.

"My family is incredibly proud of me for attending optometry school. My father is especially keen as he also graduated from this university. Both of my parents, as well as my older brother, live in the area so I will have a very strong and encouraging support system should I be accepted into your school."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.
