The main goal of the blog is to provide timely and useful information to anyone who is interested in applying to optometry school. It’s all part of one of ASCO’s many strategic objectives, which is to help the schools and colleges of optometry develop a large, diverse and highly qualified national applicant pool while getting the word out about the attractiveness of a career in the profession.  We will also blog about other optometry-related topics from time to time. ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Follow ASCO Online ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Topic **Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry** 6110 Executive Blvd, Suite 420 Rockville, MD 20852 Tel: (301) 231-5944 Fax: (301) 770-1828 [About ASCO / Contact Us](https://301048.hs-sites.com/about-asco/) ![logo-color-1.jpg](https://301048.hs-sites.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-color-1.jpg?width=314&name=logo-color-1.jpg "logo-color-1.jpg") ![NEHEP_PartnerButton.jpg](https://301048.hs-sites.com/hs-fs/hubfs/NEHEP_PartnerButton.jpg?width=628&name=NEHEP_PartnerButton.jpg "NEHEP_PartnerButton.jpg") © 2013 ASCO, All Rights Reserved.
