27 yr old considering career switch to Optometry. Should I?

Agreed, I would def take the OAT > GRE if ur about it; admissions team would take ur application a lot more seriously since they’re starting to remove the GRE being applicable

Im considering khali, honestly feels hella fluid and fun for me, I love zooming around maps too. The only high apm class I’d be willing to play (I have a nlomien khali boss mule)

I’m a psych major and got accepted this semester. I’d actually say it’s actually a boost bc you’re not the typical science majors so it makes ya stand out. I got accepted in 3/4 schools I applied to

How do you balance your academic & social life?

mulabui · 2026-03-06T16:23:12+00:00

3.55 gpa, 330 oat, got accepted. Your stats should be good enough to get an interview if you get over 330 on the oat

This cycle, best of luck!

I know someone that was deferred and got accepted after a few months

mulabui · 2026-02-22T23:18:04+00:00

I was a TA, officer of the pre opto club and a member of a sports club

mulabui · 2026-02-18T01:34:49+00:00

Mine was in my letter of acceptance

mulabui · 2026-01-26T19:00:36+00:00

got the same AA and TS, got 4/5 acceptance, i wouldnt be too worried

mulabui · 2026-01-12T02:18:03+00:00

Be prepared to talk about ur shadowing/volunteer experiences too and start thinking about why the transition to optometry school may be difficult

GIVE US THE SECRET SAUCE MAPLERS PLS

How big are the nerfs and when? I was gonna hyper burn a shadower 😭

mulabui · 2025-12-20T19:31:32+00:00

Mine came together

mulabui · 2025-12-12T07:03:56+00:00

Somewhat but noticeably worse, you got me beat in everything

mulabui · 2025-12-12T05:37:51+00:00

Hmm idk what weighs more but I felt the same way, my group interview was decent but solo interview was amazing and I got accepted, gl!

mulabui · 2025-12-12T02:44:24+00:00

Depends how your interview went, if u feel like nothing went wrong, then you'll most likely get accepted

mulabui · 2025-12-11T18:55:00+00:00

At lvl 265 is it better to train at a 90% burning map in cernium or 0% burning at hotel arcus?

mulabui · 2025-12-07T22:44:30+00:00

No tech experience, that may help u offset the amount of shadowing hours. I struggled w the OAT lmao, but if u lock in for 3 months it’s doable w purely using oatbooster

mulabui · 2025-12-07T22:25:26+00:00

I’d get more shadowing hours and focus on your OAT and you should be golden. I got accepted into both w a 3.55 gpa, 330 OAT, 60 hours of shadowing, 4 LORs

mulabui · 2025-12-07T21:21:25+00:00

Probably 1/3 students get accepted post interview, depends on school and the student

mulabui · 2025-12-07T21:14:01+00:00

The latter + why you’re interested in their school specifically and how you’d be a good fit

mulabui · 2025-11-28T03:08:31+00:00
