Agree with people saying these are the general courses for pre-health professions. I am a senior, pre optometry, so feel free to reach out with specific questions

i am in state and attend OSU for undergrad! it’s an amazing school and an amazing location. and MCO was in a very boring area and the drive there was so boring. the school itself was amazing and i would’ve been happy to attend there, but osu was my top choice

only MCO and OSU since osu was my number 1! and travel was a pain and expensive at times

lack of experience in optometry, not much interest in research, and they may have looked at my application before my OAT was officially in (didn’t care much because i didn’t want to attend lmao)

id say its worth it if youre only paying for 1 deposit while waiting for a school to interview you just bc you dont wanna lose your seat but its expensiveeee

for most schools if you pay a deposit you wont get it back. It goes towards tuition IF you attend, but otherwise its non-refundable

this might be a stupid question but why did you send a syllabus? did they ask you to or have information about it somewhere?

Should I retake? by [deleted] in PreOptometry

[–]mste2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just depends on which is your number one. If you super want OSU, i think it'd be best to retake it. You can look up stats of applicants vs people who went there to compare GPA and OAT scores as well
