Please list below the programs to which you want your application data sent.  (Your application data, listed above, will not be sent to the programs until ORMS receives your application fee.)  Your preliminary listing of sites will be retained by ORMS and will NOT be disclosed to the programs in order to keep your choices confidential.

This is not your list for matching purposes.  You must also submit a Matching Form.  The Matching Form is available on the "Forms" page and must be submitted by March 6, 2009 by all candidates.    

The sites are listed below by state.  Residencies listed with school acronyms in their titles are on-campus positions.  The first five program choices are included in your application fee.  For more than five programs, there is a $10 per program surcharge.

Before submitting your application, please PROOF READ it carefully.  This form is forwarded to program coordinators as it is received by ORMS, the exception being that we delete your OE Tracker number.  We cannot make corrections to your application (i.e., add capital letters and necessary punctuation to your name where needed, arrange names in the requested order of Last name, First name Middle initial, fill in your optometry school or GPA, or make other necessary corrections).  Also, we cannot process applications that are received without OE Tracker numbers.

Please use the "submit application" button only once.  Multiple forms will be sent if you use the submit button more than once.
