Hello I’m 18 and 1st semester freshman so I’m just learning to college. Optometrist has been my dream job for a year now(I interned/worked at an optometric office junior/senior year and loved it).
Rn I’m going for a chem bachelors at UOP (University of the Pacific), but am considering transferring to another school where I’ll have a shot at entering a pre-optometry program (Pacific U and their Optometry Scholars Program). I’ll still have to get my chem bachelors there, but the program helps w planning, scheduling, internships etc.
I’m doing my own research of course, but I want to ask:
1) anyone who was in some sort of pre-optometry program, what are some pros and cons?and Is the increased competition worth the extra help?
2) people who figured out the road on their own, how difficult was it? And any advice for me?
Thanks!
