hey everyone,

I have been admitted to the new optometry school at WesternU and wanted to get opinions on what you think about the new implementations offered for the program, including what your feedback on the accreditation is...

people are telling me that the accreditation should NOT be an issue because the new faculty is going to train our new class extremely well and meet the expectations of the committee.

do you have any feedback that could be shared? I know the DO school is established, but if anyone knows the history of the accreditation with the pharmacy school at westernu that started a few years ago as well, that would be really helpful...thanks everyone

ppl can PM me too, i'd actually prefer that, thanks..


additionally-i am doing a masters right now but will not be finishing before fall 2009 (entering time)...did anyone that got into the DO school have this situation? im just a little paranoid if westernU wants me to finish my masters, but I HIGHLY doubt this is the case because a vet student talked to our interview group and she she stopped her masters prematurely to start vet school at westernu...if anyone has any feedback on this situation as well, please let me know - that would alleviate a great deal of paranoia off my chest!! thanks

Q's whether you need to finish your masters should be directed towards the school. Most schools require you finish your current degree program before matriculation.

I doubt many people in the DO forum know much about the OD accreditation, ask in Opto forum?
