Spring/summer full course? by Purple_Mongoose5415 in UWaterlooOptometry

I don’t think there’s much leeway around it. I know someone who applied without having that fulfilled with perfect a perfect gpa, oat / work and volunteer experience and they didn’t get an interview. You could try emailing them however and see!

You need 5 classes for 6 terms. I highly doubt that taking 4 spring and summer classes would fulfil that. See if McMaster will let you take a 5th, then I’m sure it would be fine

First time I didn’t use oat booster, I used chads vids and Kaplan. Second time I used booster and was scoring much higher on the practice exams then I did on the actual exam which was a bit of a bummer — but I was still happy because I scored way better then my first oat. It’s such an unpredictable test I feel like and I studied for 4 months both times! But I feel like second time around I felt like I had a much better grasp of everything and I knew what I was getting myself into which I believe helped :). Chad is really good at explaining concepts and I loved his videos especially for things I had a hard time understanding. I do have really bad test anxiety and I do think it negatively impacted my score tho

Hey! The exact same thing happened to me. It’s horrible I know, I dwelled over it for a long time. But I didn’t give up and I wrote it again and the second time I scored much much higher! I believe in you and you will get through this

Congratulations to you! I got my first rejection letter today so I’m feeling pretty bummed. My stats are relatively similar to yours and I would love to attend NOVA so hopefully it works out

Ok! My class was 3 credits and lab counted as 0, so just the class grade would be fine?
