Question 19 of 30

What research did you conduct before choosing to apply to our school?

The interviewers want to know which considerations you put in before sending your application to their university. What they really do not want to hear is that you blindly sent out a million applications, hoping that something would stick. Share with the interviewers the consideration you put into your application.



Some methods of consideration could have been:



- Talking to / interviewing alumni of the school.

- Attending an open house at the university.

- Extensive online research.

- Researching who the most renowned graduates of their optometry program are.

- Meeting with a career counselor and asking for recommendations.

- Speaking with a current student at the university, specifically someone in the program you are interested in.

      Answer Example

      "I was sure to conduct a great deal of research before applying to your university. I started by interviewing some alumni that I know, and I also spoke with a couple of your current students who are in the optometry program. Last year I attended the open house here as well. Your school left a very positive impression on me which is why I chose to apply here."

      "Having spoken to many students who either currently attend here and those who attended in previous years, it provided me with insight not only into Optometry at Aston but the University as a whole. I've also researched how the course is taught, which modules are covered, and how assessments are conducted. Doing so left a positive impression that led me to apply here."
