Hello everyone,
This is my first post on this forum and I am seeking some guidance. I have graduated from college 5 years ago with a 3.3gpa and have worked as an Ophthalmic Assistant for the past two years (very busy surgical practice as we take medicare/medicaid patients) . The optometrists I am currently working with have strongly encouraged me to apply to school. I have booted up my apps for this year and I am missing a psychology requirement. Does anyone know if any school have worked with them and allowed a substitution for this prerequisite?
Thank you all for your advice.
 
You should call the school you're interested in
My top choice school is fortunately working with me to see if I have another course I can replace it with. The others require the psych prereq. As far as taking the course taking this fall, is there a section on optomcas I can log that as in progress and send out my app?

I think you can mark those classes in your transcript and put the status as ongoing/in progress.
