Hello :smile:
If they haven't had an application from you before then yes there might be a telephone interview. If it's not today it could be tomorrow or Monday, but from memory they're usually keen to get them done quite quickly - because if for some reason you were unsuccessful they'd still want to fill that space.

Were you receiving results this morning?

Each institution will have a particular requirement that they expect you to meet, yes :smile:
Are you looking to apply for Optometry yourself?

Okay so, spend some time looking at different uni optometry courses and see what's available, choose 5 unis where you think you'd have a competitive application for those courses and see where it goes. :smile:
