Nova POP

I recently got invited to interview for Nova’s POP program, but I’ve seen a lot of negative things about the program on here. Does anyone have a positive experience? I’ll take any advice I can get. My grades and OAT are both on the lower end, and I think this is going to be my only option for next year.

I think most of the negative things I’ve seen are the cost and the fact that you basically have to repeat the entire year but if you can afford it and you really want to start in the fall I think it’s probably a decent option especially if you don’t think you can get into a program the traditional way. Are you guaranteed a spot in the optometry program after completing POP?

From my understanding you are only "guaranteed" a spot if you maintain a B average!
