Hi!
I really need some advice about getting into Optometry school. I was a finance major & accounting minor in college, but I'm not too happy in this field. I graduated with a 3.3 & took AP chem while I was in High School; the credits transferred so I didn't really have to take any science courses while I was in college (beside astronomy). I graduated HS in 2009 so it's been a very long time since my last science course.
I know there's some pre-reqs to get into optometry school. What does everyone suggest I do? I thought about going to a local community college to get my science courses done. I even thought about taking a post bacc- pre-med (which would allow to me take the science courses as well)
I am working full time right now and can't quit my job- so night classes seem to be my only choice.
Also, What would be your suggestion on shadowing other optometrist?
Please advise!
