I was accepted to NECO last week but was surprised to not receive any scholarship. I have a 3.8 gpa, 360 OAT, and thought my essays/recs/experience were well-rounded.
I don't mean to come off as complaining - I just found it a little surprising.
I’m currently a 3rd year biology major and I’m just in the process of exploring different healthcare careers. Optometry is something that interests me because it seems to involve a lot of science/physiology. I do plan on shadowing an optometrist just to see day to day responsibilities and ask questions, I just want to see why other undergrad students decided to pursue this field to make sure I’m pursuing for the right reasons.
