What to Expect in the RMU Optometry Interview
A newer optometric medicine program makes knowledge of professional scope, ethical conduct, and adaptability especially important.
RMU's published program information and applicant-reported question bank point to a conversation that tests how deliberately you chose optometry. Connect your clinical exposure to the OD's role in primary eye care, disease detection, vision correction, and long-term patient relationships rather than relying on a general interest in science.
Explain what attracts you to helping shape a developing program while staying realistic about uncertainty. Discuss one concrete change in eye care and separate patient benefit from professional self-interest.
The 15 questions in Intervly's RMU bank reveal useful practice themes, but they do not predict the exact questions you will receive. Use them to practise clear reasoning, specific evidence, and thoughtful follow-ups rather than memorising scripts.

View what’s comingYour Interviewer Won't Just Ask the Next Question
Intervly listens to what you actually say and generates contextual follow-ups. That is exactly what a conversational RMU interview does to unprepared answers.
Interviewer
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Applicant
My biggest strength is that I am hardworking and organised, and my weakness is probably that I care too much and take on too many things at once.
Intervly follow-up
Caring too much is a strength dressed as a weakness. Give me a real one, describe a moment it actually cost you something, and tell me what you changed afterwards.
How to Prepare for the RMU Optometry Interview
- 01
Build a RMU-only fit answer
Use the official sources below to identify two details that distinguish RMU. Connect each one to a real experience or goal so the same answer could not be given to another optometry school.
- 02
Define the OD role precisely
Explain what you observed in primary eye care, ocular disease management, refraction, or another specific responsibility and why that scope fits you better than adjacent health careers.
- 03
Rehearse the RMU question mix
Practise the three public questions and rotate through all 15 inside Intervly. Answer aloud, then challenge each response with a follow-up asking for evidence.
- 04
Plan for the Provo setting
Research the school's clinics, patient communities, and training environment in Provo. Use that context carefully and avoid making claims about people you have not met.
- 05
Review your academic evidence
Know the courses, OAT results, gaps, and changes in your application. A concise explanation should end with stronger evidence of how you learn now.
What to Know Before Your RMU Optometry Interview
Use these as starting points. The answer to "why this school" has to be yours, so we deliberately do not write it for you.
New program perspective
Explain what attracts you to helping shape a developing program while staying realistic about uncertainty.
Future of scope
Discuss one concrete change in eye care and separate patient benefit from professional self-interest.
Question-bank signal
The reported prompts emphasize future of scope, so prepare a specific example and expect the interviewer to ask what you learned.
