Hello, how is everyone doing?
I just have a few quick questions...and i would be really thankful for any kind of advice..
Here's my scenario:
I am currently a junior majoring in Biology, I plan to graduate in may. After shadowing a doctor, pharmacist and an optometrist. I decided that I like optometry the best. I still shadow my optometrist and I've learned quite a lot from him about the field. I'll most likely be working at his office around December, so thats going to give me a little bit more experience.
My current overall GPA is 3.590 and science GPA 3.360. I am done with all my science courses except physics II.I am taking the Kaplan course and plan to take the OAT at the end of august.
Now the thing is I am really bad at standardized exams , I get really nervous and do very poorly. I got a 1130 (old scale) on SAT but i graduted with 4.7 GPA in HS .
What kind of OAT score do you guys think would be good enough for me to have a chance of getting accepted to optometry school?
I am taking the Kaplan course right now, physics and QR is my worst area. i keep thinking that I will do really horrible on the test and almost have panic attack sometimes loll.
Do you think I should wait till i finish taking Physics II over the fall and then take my OAT in December or is that going to make me late for my application?
Any other words of wisdoms and advices for me would be apprciated because this thing is really getting to my head and making me really nervous!!
