My partner is a UWaterloo optometry grad who recently saw Dr. Mike play Doctordle, and of course she wanted an optometry version, sooo now we have www.optodle.com
She's found it fun and helpful for passive studying and review and she suggested I share it here in case anyone else wanted to try it. It's completely free and doesn't require an account or anything.
Let me know what you think!
before choosing my classes, I want to have a clear understanding of how I should do everything before applying to the optometry school. Any insight will help, even if you’re not from saskatchewan!!
Since Waterloo requires specific classes to be taken in order to apply to their program, how would I know if i’m taking the right classes (since in every province, the classes are named differently and don’t contain the exact same material)?
When should I start shadowing an optometrist, when would it be an early time to start?
When should I take the OAT and CASPER, and is it open in summer or only school times? Does the school provide anything regarding it or is it outside of school?
Does the classes I take in my first year need to be SPECIFICALLY cultivated (like the hardest classes), or does it just need to be any classes that are required in the 4 years of undergrad? What types of classes are important to take early on, or is there no specifics?
What extracurriculars should I do to have a lot of volunteer experience, would it need to be related to the optometry field (in regards of skills)?
6.Since i’m most likely going into Arts and Science and are going to take a Bachelor of Science, how do I decide what I need to do for my major? How do I choose it, based on what (on the future job, on my interests)?
Is there anything I need to do in university to be more prepared for the optometry schooling?
How many recommendation letters should I have from profs and optometrists?
Hi, I just found out the rules regarding full course load changed to “majority of terms” as full course load… I’ve switched career paths during 4th year and i’m doing an extra year to complete science prereqs. Where does that place me in terms of this requirement? Do I have to take 6 full course terms?
Im a gr 10 HighSchool student in ontario. I want to either become an optometrist or physician. idkk. Optometry is my main interest, its such a cool job. Is it hard to get in? How come only 400 people apply? I want to go to Mac life sci for my undergrad and is that a bad idea? would it be hard to keep a good gpa with ecs?
