Hey guys,
I am currently a pharmacology and toxicology master student and am in my second year with a 3.2 gpa (bc of research hours, that gpa will rise significantly by the time I graduate), I graduated with a bachelor in biology and a terrible gpa of 2.63 🙁 I haven't taken the OAT yet but am slowly starting to study for it and I have also set up time to start up shadowing again. I'm extremely worried about my undergrad gpa and wanted to know what you guys think I should do. Do I have a chance at all for next year to apply?
P.S. all of my prerequisites for optometry school are As and Bs...I made the mistake of taking upper level classes during a bad time in my life and those classes (bichem and genetics) killed my gpa 🙁 I want to get into optometry school very much...I had shadowed some ODs last year when I had time and had very much enjoyed it...I just hope that the adcom will look past my undergrad and concentrate more on my OAT score and grad gpa :/ let me know what you guys think 🙂
