I've started studying for the OAT and begun to think about the application process. I'm graduating May 2010 and applying for the Fall of 2011.
1) What would be a good time to take the OAT and also what months is the OAT offered?
2) Is there a place that lists all the application deadlines in one place? It would make it much easier... when would be a good time to send that new common app in if I were to apply for Fall 2011?
3) I've started looking at optometry school sites (I've found out how time consuming this can be) and a lot of schools have different prerequisites in terms of courses (one of them had a speech course..), shadowing/recommendations from optometrists etc. Is there a general rule to follow to make sure you are ok on prereqs for most schools?
4) Lastly, I've heard that some schools only take applicants from instate or a limited amount of states. If I'm from MA, which one's can't I apply to?
Thanks!
