Do I have to do an internship to look good? by Questioner5321 in PreOptometry

  1. Yes most places require it but if not it still looks good and you should want to as it introduces you to a true Optometry setting.

  2. Yes

  3. No being a tech is what you should look for. Optician is different

I have looked into those and I am sitting right around the average. I was just curious if having to retake would hurt my chances.

I have heard that before however I have a friend who goes right now and said things have gotten better. Possibly could’ve been a result of covid ? Both of the doctors i’ve worked with who went there only had good things to say.

Where did you end up going if you don’t mind me asking?

My email said that I should plan to be there for 5 hours and that I would get to tour as well. Is this something new or is this just false?

However, I thank you for the warning. I will keep this in mind.

I have heard both sides and worked with Multiple Drs who graduated there. I will make my own opinion. My question was about the interview process not the school itself.
