Hello everyone,
My name is Logan and I have no idea if my chances of getting into Optometry school are good or bad to be honest. I have researched individual sites to look up their averages but I am still not sure because I have been figuring this out entirely on my own. I am a junior who will be finishing up a B.S in Psychology with a History minor next year. My current GPA is a 3.6 but my science GPA is only a 3.0 due to chemistry. I never really had chemistry before I went to college and have struggled with it throughout my 3 years. I have only gotten one C and that was in General chem 2 but I am currently trying to prevent getting a second C in organic chemistry this semester (borderline with 5 weeks to go). The C really concerns me because I am applying this summer so I won't really have time to bring it up. I have not taken the OAT but am scheduled to take it this spring. I also have 50+ shadowing hours and 80+ community service hours. I am pretty open to where I go so no real restrictions there (just want to stay in the United States). Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated!
