30. It is important that our school exercises great discernment when choosing applicants. What is your plan if you are not accepted into our optometry program this year?
How to Answer
The interviewers want to know that you have thought out all options, and scenarios, in the event that you are not accepted into their optometry program.
The way that you answer this question will show the interviewers that you have an interest in the field of optometry that goes deeper than your immediate acceptance into their school. Let the interviewers know that one rejection won't stop you at all! Talk about your plan to reapply, if rejected.
It is important you show the interviewers that you have confidence, and drive. It'll take more than one rejection to keep you down!

Answer Example
"Should I not be accepted into optometry school the first time, I plan to reapply the following year. I would take that year to upgrade any required courses and prepare an even stronger application. My life's goal is to become an optometrist and I certainly won't take one rejection as a final answer."
