Hi all!

I have a lot of hours in shadowing optometrists but there was only one quarter where I had an internship through the school that's shown on my transcript. Is that a problem? How will the schools need the proof that you really did shadow?

Thanks!
 
You just have to give dates and contact info of those you shadowed, and of course one of your recommendations should be from an optometrist. I don't know if the schools contact all of the people you shadowed, but obviously you should be honest.
