Hello everyone,
I have been struggling with my optometry application process for the past year. And it has made me doubt that I can even get into optometry school. I have 4 years of work experience ( I am an optician, tester, and vision therapist at my clinic) I am very confident in my work experience and academic. I have a 3.5 acc. GPA with a BS in Biology and was a part of honors societies and clubs and organizations. The only thing that I feel has been dreadful would be my OAT exam I took it 2x and both were a year apart. One in oct of '15 and the second was oct in '16. Honestly I did not put my all both times and received a 250 on the 1st and 270 on the 2nd AA. My goal is to get 300+. Based on what I have told you what are some tactics to help me get this material into my brain. I started to lose hope and not have confidence in myself bc I am starting to get scared. I am also thinking of applying to majority of the opt schools, do you think thats a good idea or no?! and do i even have a chance??
