I plan on submitting my applications sometime in August but there are still a few pre-reqs I haven't taken yet (microbio with lab, biostats). I'm taking microbio in this upcoming fall and biostats in the spring because that is the only semester it is offered at my school. Can I still apply before I take these classes as long as I complete the courses before I officially begin optometry school?
As for shadowing, I don't have any experience yet in optometry but I did shadow in a hospital for about 60 hours although none of it was optometry related. I begin shadowing my eye doctor later this week. Should I bring a small notepad to take notes with? Should I dress somewhat business casual? I also plan on shadowing an optician and an ophthalmologist. What other ways can I shadow optometrists in a different setting?
