to answer your 1st question.. "BAD?" no... is it hard to get in? not as hard as the schools in the states. So there is a slight negative connotation of going there in SOME peoples eyes.
to answer your 2nd question.. if you really wanted to go there, you would know the answer to this through a simple search. but yes.. you must know Spanish.
The students at IAUPR aren't allowed to prescribe medicine according to a recruiter at one of the optometry schools. IMO the students who attend IAUPR are moreso being prepared to practice optometry in PR opposed to practicing in the states. However I think it is a good option especially if you're looking for a small class size, lower tuition, and being bilingual
also, spanish is not required to get in. You will be taught conversational spanish and how to conduct a full eye exam in spanish when you get here.
There are some exciting changes taking place next year with a proposed new curriculum, so next years class will have a leg up against the rest of the school.
Check out that other thread forum and ask questions, so other students can give you their insights.
