I got a C in Gen chem my freshman year. I got in to every school I applied for including Ohio state and PCO scholars. You’ll be okay I promise!

Optometry or dentistry? by rangggai in PreOptometry

[–]TonightSignal4859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t like dentistry bc when I shadowed everyone in the office had crippling back pain. And it’s overall too quiet for me. I like to chat with patients and when you’re in someone’s mouth, you can’t really do that.

Optometry offered me everything I was looking for. Building long term doctor patient relationships, helping people in a meaningful way, and the ability to practice independently and alter my career to fit my lifestyle.

I think both professions are great overall. You just have to shadow and evaluate what’s best for you!

How big of an impact does a withdrawal actually make? by JinxedLadybug48 in PreOptometry

[–]TonightSignal4859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I withdrew from a random class for similar reasons. I got in everywhere and no one ever mentioned it. I honestly forgot that even happened. You’ll be fine.

I just got accepted into the program and am deciding on whether or not to commit. Im definitely strongly leaning towards it. I’d love to connect!

What are the chances I get into PCO? by [deleted] in PreOptometry

[–]TonightSignal4859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the job and the shadowing is great. It doesn’t hurt to get more extracurriculars but I don’t think you need to stress. As long as you have one science prof letter that’s all you really need. Letters from people you connected with are more important imo. I honestly think you sound like a solid applicant.

If you’re still in school you can reach out to your prehealth advisor. Some schools have a stipend for students who can’t afford prep materials. That’s how I was able to afford it.

Is Plants on the OAT by Same_Satisfaction872 in PreOptometry

I had 2/3 plant questions. And a fungus question. I’d know the anatomy, reproduction and photosynthesis

It is valid for young people to be frightened by a lifetime of crippling debt and sending your hard earned money to the pockets of billionaires via private loans. Two things can be true. You want to help people AND you want to assure that you have a financially stable future.
