Did anyone who has two years of undergrad only (with junior standing) get accepted to any Optometry school?

I'd don't know of any program that will allow anything below 3 years of undergrad.

Waterloo does. I got an interview last year with only 2 years, but didn't quite cut it. Also, one girl on this forum said she got in with 2 years last year. I can't remember the exact thread tho.

Let me revise...I don't know of any US program that allows less than 3 years.

Waterloo actually just changed their requirements so that no less than 3 years is acceptable.

What I am saying is two years with junior standing. not just regular two years. In other words, U have at least 90 semester units or 135 quater units, but u have been going to college for two years only.

For the class starting in 2008.

I understand, but I'm still pretty sure they require 3 years regardless of the number of credits you have earned.

more and more schools are going BS/BA manditory. ( as honestly, I think it should be)

This is the official words from Todd from PCO. It doesnt matter how many years of undergrad u have, as long as you have 90 semester units or 135 quater units, u are eligible for admission. I just came back from the interview. I hope this will encourage people to take more classes.
PS> Very important thing. AP credits are counted toward 90 semester units.

Why mad?

Because they somehow I was told the wrong policy on this last year! (Or I didn't hear correctly 🙄 .)

Glad you didn't have the same problem though!
