I am currently working in an optometry office but I am having trouble filling my schedule at school with classes. This upcoming semester I am only able to fit 9 hours of credit due to my tight schedule at work. I am a junior now. I was wondering if optometry schools will look down on me for not being a full time student next semester. As long as I graduate on time should this be fine?
 
As long as you get good grades in your courses, you'll be okay. I think it's great that you're working at an optometry office while applying, but also make sure your grades don't suffer.
