GPA 3.0 with about a year and a half to go. Have biochem, Physics II, A+P, Calc I prereqs left. Def could rock a 3.2 overall and a 2.8 mat sci GPA.
Spending summer working on Kaplan OAT books. Good test taker. Feel like I could def get a slightly above average grade. Have been scoring well on practice tests.
I go to school and work full time (sux). Worked 1 1/2 years for a national optical chain (LC) and currently 2 years for and independent optical group. Throughout this time I have racked up about 3 years total pre-testing for several docs (auto-refractor, tonometer, vis. field, retinal camera etc.). I have worked in the laboratory generating and finishing hundreds of pairs of lenses, as well as becoming lensometer certified. Have also become proficient in dealing with insurance companies (coding/billing).
Was looking for some input on how my overall profile looks. I know that my GPA is below average and that my strong point (work exp.) is not necessarily a make or break for admission. Any info/advice will be greatly appreciated.
