I need major advice on reapplying to Optometry school. I was a 2nd yr optometry student at U. Waterloo, but I was dismissed due to academic reasons. Granted, I was dealing with personal issues at the same time, but no way am I going to make any excuses. Would it be possible to transfer OR reapply to an American Optometry school (Don't worry! I'm not planning to steal your future patients away (Unless I'm forced to assimilate)!)

My current stats:

Undergrad GPA: 3.20
GPA: 2.898
Cumulative GPA: GPA: 3.109
OAT: To be taken

Is it worth it to even retry Optometry? In hindsight, I should have taken some time off to deal with my personal issues, but at the time, I thought I could handle it. In any case, is this possible to do?
