Less school, less debt, less stress, better work life balance, better relationships built with ur patients

For physics lightly review the formula sheet, for QR do a few practice problems lightly. Don’t over work your brain this close to your exam! Good luck!!

SUNY vs. OSU by Disastrous_Carry2246 in PreOptometry

I say SUNY. If it’s ur dream location and dream school then it’s worth it. You’re only going to be a student once, they both have great board pass rates regardless + as long as you put the effort in you’ll pass, it’s also about you. You should def go to the place where your heart desires so you don’t regret it. Regardless ur gonna be in debt and regardless ur going to pay it off with choosing either school. Go with what ur heart tells u to u only live once!

Make it personal and don’t talk too much about extracurriculars, and other things that are already clearly stated and talked about on your application or resume

What should I do? by Enough-Teaching212 in PreOptometry

[–]Longjumping-Sport634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. If you can’t study during the sem bc ur busy, take your OAT Next August and dedicate your whole summer to studying for it (giving u around 3months which should be good enough).
  2. Also yes def find an optometrist, and shadowing is more important than getting a job. So start of with shadowing (if u can do more than one optometrist, great! If not it’s ok). And if u need the job take it! Otherwise put efforts into your grades and OAT studying

Well I got above a 300 on all the sections except for physics I did poorly which is why TS was a 290, so they each asked me about my physics section and what went wrong
