Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I have a late spark of interest in optometry within this year. I'm currently doing a master in infectious diseases and will finish in May but I know research isn't for me. I'll be applying this November for the 2016 cycle, is this too late?
My undergrad GPA is a 3.3 and my master GPA is 4.0. I'm taking my OAT in a month (hopefully average scores?). Where I am lacking is experience (I will try to get around 60 hours of shadowing and ~30 hours of volunteering at an eye clinic). I don't know what my chances are since I'll be applying late. Do you guys have any comments/suggestions to improve my chances?
