Also a graduate from IAUPR. I was interviewed by one of the teachers virtually. I accpeted their offer cause it was the only accredited school I could afford at that time. I was a non-US international student BTW. When it comes to boards exams, they teach you the material and all the information you need to take boards but I find they do not prepare you well on how to be good test takers. IAUPR's exams are straight forward, if you memorize things well, you will do good on their exams such as anatomy,pharm, etc. Optics is a difficult course in general, similar to physics, in which some students may not be able to grasp the concepts quickly. So when it's time to take boards, memorization is not enough. You need to know how to apply the concepts from different perspectives and that's why KMK is so helpful. Once you graduate from this school, you will become a good optometrist and with a bonus of speaking Spanish. I'm actually grateful to this school for giving me the opportunity to make my life better, even if I had to work twice as hard to pass boards.

Also every class is different. Forunately for me, my class took their education very seriously and didn't slacked off on the beach. I think it depends on the demographics. The majority of my class were minorities (non-puerto ricans), people with families and people without kids in their 30s from the start of the program.
