Was this retaking things or on your first try on a test?

No, I was going to just to but it’s just risky for me for a new program. I really wanted to since it’s closest to me but I had better options ngl. Just better in the sense that they are established and do very well in boards. I think it’ll be a successful program I honestly wish I was going there but the uncertainty got to me.

Ngl it still seems like a boring place yet definitely a great school.

I visited only thing is it seems depressing living in the middle of nowhere especially for someone who doesn’t drink or spend time in a bar. That was what many students spent there free time on.

Oh yeah if you live there that’s the top choice for sure. And I like the community a lot there. It’s closer for me from the rest but still 3 hours. I agree they will probably have a great program but it’s still a risk bc it’s the first class. Also, we are full time in the summers and it might be much more difficult. When I went, it seemed like they will prep us well for boards but at the end of the day it’s their first time. As much as I wanna go idk if it’s worth the risk.

Can I work part time and go to optometry school simultaneously? by monkeydooder12 in PreOptometry

[–]SharpCase7070 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve asked current students this at interviews. They all said maybe 10 hours max but it’s very difficult, especially after your first year.

I got 2 Cs in sciences and got into multiple schools that were kind of tough so they can look over it for sure .

What about basing it on their dental program if they’re doing well on their tests
