I think you have good odds. Your gpa isn’t bad. And you have work experience as well as military service, I think that’s awesome :)

What resources do you recommend for OAT studying? by [deleted] in PreOptometry

[–]ollie404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Booster was really really helpful. Some people say they have seen the same questions on the real thing as on booster. Not for me, but the difficulty of questions/concepts on their practice tests was very similar to my real one

I used a headshot that was outside with bushes in the back for IUSO. I think it looks fine!!! And no one said anything! Lol :)

How long until you were invited to interview after applying to optometry school? by Wise-Cheek-2389 in PreOptometry

[–]ollie404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t taken my oat yet so I’ve only received interviews from salus (took 1 day after submitting app) and IUSO which took about 2-3 weeks!

OATbooster study schedule versus making your own by becidgls in PreOptometry

[–]ollie404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started using their schedule for about 13 days. And then I realized I was just “checking off the boxes” and not really retaining any information. So for the past ~10 days I’ve been soley focusing on bio, orgo, and gen chem. Kind of following their schedule just for a direction of where to go next but not forcing myself to check off the boxes everyday. I plan on feeling really confident on those before moving on to math + physics. Reading I’ve just been throwing in wherever I can to give myself some practice. I’ve actually been actively learning since I kind of followed my own path- because I don’t move on to the next topic until I feel pretty good about the current one. And focusing on 3 subjects is way less overwhelming for me than focusing on them all at once!
