Well i'm just wondering who got in that is 3rd yr or 4th yr or masters. Do us 3rd yrs actually stand a chance if we have EQUAL grades as a 4th yr? I would guess that the 4th yr gets in right? And also, does anyone know if you're doing your Masters if you have a better chance even if ur undergrad kinda sucked? Like below 3? A few of us are wondering since, what are the choices if we don't get in 3rd yr or later, and than Masters will probaly be calling. Thanks for the help people! Btw, i'm from Up North.

Edit: If you choose OTHER, can you please explain your situation, like what are you doing now? Thanks
 
I voted other because I got my biology bachelors degree about 5 years ago, and I've been working as systems analyst in IT department. After some time I realized that I can't keep doing that for the rest of my life because I hate it. I started thinking about optometry because I worked in the field back in college and after doing a lot thinking, I realized that Optometry is definately the field for me. Anyway, I started studying for OAT, took it this October and just go accepted to ICO with SCCO interview pending. These are an only 2 schools I applied to as it would not be possible for me to move anyplace else.

Hey, I was in IT, too! Poking at keyboards is fun, but poking at eyes = more fun. :meanie:
 
I'm voting other because I am a post-bach student. I graduated in 2002 with an engineering degree, but am back in school finishing up pre-reqs that weren't covered in my undergrad curriculum.

Obviously I agree 😉 So I've got about 8 more month of pretending to be interested in what I do and then its over with for the rest of my life, yay 😀 I can't wait to start school already!
