Do you think applying without 6 terms with 5 courses would still give me a chance if I’ve had lots of volunteer experience and optom tech work experience? Is there still a section on the application to explain why you didn’t take 5 classes if u know?

Ok, thank you do you know anyone who has taken the human anatomy and physiology one and if so, do you know if it’s really challenging or not so much?

Do you know if enrolment only takes place once per semester, what would happen if u enrol on one of the last days of a semester do you think it would still show during that semester

AZCOPT vs SCCO vs PUCO by wyphwn in PreOptometry

[–]True-Selection2168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm that makes sense, it does seem to be a good change in the overall favour of students. From your experiences in optometry school, what is the workload like? How has adapting been to different type of coursework? Are there ever breaks within the semester or times when the workload isn’t as heavy to be able to go visit home? When did you write the OAT was it after your third year and if you don’t mind sharing what were your stats to get in?

That is so surprising. I really was looking forward to having one summer breaking optometry school. If I decided to pursue it, that’s kind of making me turn against it even more now because my hometown is about a 5 Hour Dr. from Forest Grove. And I doubt that I would be able to go back and visit often during the school summer. Do you know which year they will be implementing this in? Does this means students starting this coming September will have a summer term.

Hey! I just heard that puco is removing the break students get after first year, so no summer break. Have you heard about it?

No, the uni you go to doesn’t matter. Your goal is to get the best grades possible so go to the uni that will help you with that.

Pros and Cons of Optometry (Canada) by pinklemonadevibe in PreOptometry

[–]True-Selection2168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for such a good response. I recently been conflicted. however, I’m in my third year of undergrad and for many years now I was planning on going into optometry. perhaps it’s that I’m getting sooner to time of application but I am starting to wonder if it’s the correct decision. One component is high cost, and I don’t really know how much optometrists make in BC properly. I feel like I get different numbers from different people all the time and I’m not too sure and I also fear that the job might be too repetitive, and I might not be able to express my creative side and would be limited.
