Hey everyone,
I'm currently a 4th year student at the University of Toronto, going into my 5th year (not because I didn't finish enough courses, but just having trouble deciding on life). I came into university very set on optometry, then sort of fell off that train, but recently, I've fallen back in love with the career. My GPA is a 3.48, with my last two years being very strong. I have not taken my OAT yet, but I plan to this summer, as well as getting experience shadowing and volunteering at a clinic. My 5th year would be for taking less courses (but I still have to take the biochem prereq), and hopefully for being more active in volunteering or working. Waterloo is probably my primary choice, do I have a realistic chance at getting in if I complete everything I have to?
Thanks!
