Abstract
This 1996 study examined the admission interview employed at the University of Waterloo School of Optometry (UWSO). A questionnaire was developed, piloted, and mailed to 157 UWSO applicants and 23 UWSO interviewers. Their expectations of an ideal optometry admission interview were compared with their experiences of the UWSO admission interview. The response rate was 71.7% (n = 129; 109 applicants, 20 interviewers). Statistical analysis involved principle component analysis and t-tests (independent and paired). Participants believed the ideal optometry admission interview should gather information, verify information, provide information, and select candidates by appraising their 'people skills,' 'professional skills,' and 'attitude orientation.' Although the participants' expectations of the ideal interview resembled the mission statement of the UWSO interview, the expectations, particularly among applicants, significantly deviated from their experiences of the UWSO interview.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
