I got accepted into the January 08 semester at AUC about one week ago. However, I am having some second thoughts about going to the caribbean. I have shadowed many different types of doctors and truly love the field of medicine. Recently, somebody suggusted optometry as an alternative career choice. I shadowed an optometrist and really like it a lot too. I have been taking many practice exams for the OAT and have been scoring well. If I take the OAT and apply, i'll wait one year and go to optometry school. This time off will also give me the opportunity to retake the mcat to try to get in the US if I want to. However, there are some concerns about optometry that I have. The caribbean might not be the best choice either. Any thoughts? Should I just say forget it all and got to AUC? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
