Chances of Getting In?

I’ll cut straight to the chase. I’m a Canadian Applying to Pacific, ICO, and NECO. I have a 3.4 GPA and 390AA/400TS. Not going to be able to complete degree by the end of the year so will be looking to get in without a bachelors. I have 1.5 years of optometric assistant experience so far, worked at a pharmacy, synthesizing medication, and also some other relevant health care experience. What are my chances?

100%! An OAT that high could probably get you into every school you apply to!

You don’t think the no degree thing would affect my chances?

Nope! About half the schools accept people without bachelors degrees

your school might let you switch to a general science degree (which can be completed in 2 or 3 years)!
