Hi everyone, I am new here and in need of some advice! (I posted this in the nontrad. section too.)
Here's my situation: I'm a biology/chemistry major at my current university and I'm about 2 credits from having a junior status. I love my major, and I have been able to maintain a decent GPA throughout. I'd LOVE to go to optometry school, however I do have some drawbacks that I'm a little nervous about.
1. I am a single mom (my mom takes care of my daughter so I can go to school, so it's not too hard as far as child care goes)
2. I'd have to commute 1.5 hours each way, if I am accepted to 1 of the 2 possible schools in my area.
Does anyone have any input about commuting and the hardships associated with it? Anything at all is greatly appreciated!
