Hi,
Given the budget crisis in California and the likely hike in professional school tuition in the UC system, I'm really worried about financing the next four years in optometry school. I was wondering how most optometry students pay for school...is it mostly through state/federal loans? If so, I was wondering if current students could tell me what they did (i.e did you just fill out the FAFSA)? I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks so much!
