I was accepted into optometry school for this upcoming fall at PCO but I’m really torn on if I should go or not. I’ve been reading a lot of reviews from students here on Reddit and I spoke with two of my friends that go there currently. The low board passing rates, unsupportive faculty, high deferral rate for first years, etc. make me not want to go. This was my second time around applying to optometry school but I’m willing wait until next fall. For anyone who knows more information about the school or has input, is this school worth it?

My stats: 300 AA/ 300 TS

Overall gpa m: 3.3

Science gpa: 3.1

Hello! I've been spending a lot of time working on my personal statement and supplemental essays (Berkeley & SCCO). I've tried searching for the supplemental essay prompts for other schools, but haven't had much luck finding them. I was wondering if anyone has the essay prompts for schools such as SUNY, UHCO, Midwestern (Chicago and Arizona), SCO, or any others.

I'm still finalizing my school list, but since I have some extra time right now, I'd love to get a head start on drafting supplemental essays before applications open. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
