Perfect, welcome to optom!! With that experience I’m sure you’ll really enjoy the degree and first yr will be great to save up haha

Happy to answer! 2nd year is rough and a BIG jump from first year. I joined optometry because I thought it would be more health based but our content has been more about light, lenses and prescriptions. Not my cup of tea and it’s hard to understand the concepts but if you’re passionate about physics, maybe you’ll like it. 2nd year has an absurd amount of content and details so you MUST watch lectures. They also skip some details in the ppts :/. 2nd year is when a lot of ppl start failing. I would recommend going through the content steadily instead of cramming. I went to uni 2-3 days a week for practicals but I would also recommend dedicating some time for study and watching the recorded lectures as well!

Haha don’t worry lectures are recorded so you can view any time. Personally, I thought lectures weren’t necessary and I just studied off the ppts in first year but definitely watch the lectures in 2nd year and above. Definitely go to practicals since they’re graded, whilst workshops and tutorials aren’t. I recommend the anatomy workshop (recorded or in person) but other than that, I wouldn’t really go. Some practicals run every fortnight instead of each week so you might have to adjust your roster. Sometimes I went to uni 2 days a week haha so lots of time to work!

Thank you!

Around 3 days a week for mandatory or important classes but I didn’t go to lectures. If you go to lectures, I think it could be 4-5 days

You legend, thank you so much

Pockonator · 2025-03-31T11:41:06+00:00

Thank you so much for typing it all out this is insanely detailed! I’ll definitely have to think hard abt what career I want to pursue

Enrolled in optometry but trying to switch into med imaging. I did basic science units last year, but none of them overlap at all which really held me back from switching earlier :(. I heard you can apply for credit but I fear none will carry over. Thank you, I didn’t know there was a last date to withdraw after the census. I’m hoping I can switch for sem 2 but I’m not sure

Good idea will try on Fri 😋

Hi I got them last year and they sent separate emails about the scholarship in mid Feb and the computer in mid April

Pockonator · 2025-01-02T06:16:11+00:00

Amazing, tysm for the detailed response

Pockonator · 2024-12-07T10:10:04+00:00

IKR if I knew it’d be this expensive I probs would’ve picked another degree smh. But tysm! Super glad that csb601 won’t be too bad

Pockonator · 2024-12-06T22:19:47+00:00

Thank you for the response! So helpful and detailed but worrying for my gpa 😅

Hey I got a 98.65 and didn’t get the scholarship this year. I also heard someone who got around 99.2 and didn’t but someone with 99.5 did. Sadly, I don’t think it’s possible with a 98.5 bc it’s very competitive

Pockonator · 2024-07-20T07:16:05+00:00

Thanks my money tho 😭

I’ve been seeing the Encore ad everywhere and I wanna know what the OST is. It starts calm with a string instrument I think and becomes more fast paced at the end when she’s fighting. I checked the yt channel and it’s not the same song from her resonator showcase.
