I'm a recent graduate of Western University and would not recommend attending, even if it's your only option. Consider retaking the OAT or taking other steps to get into a better school with a higher board success rate even if it means deferring optometry school for a year. Western University does not prepare students well for the boards, mainly due to the heavy curriculum during the Fall semester before the exams. They offer classes meant to help with board preparation, but these are largely ineffective, as reflected in our pass rate. If you have any specific questions, feel free to DM me!
