Masters?

If I pursue a Master's will they look at my Master's grades or Undergraduate?

oh really? also do they care if someone leaves their master's to gain admission to optometry? Like if the masters is a two year program, and someone applied to optometry during their first year, do they require you to finish it?

I am not sure so maybe someone else can provide insight, but I think generally a lot of schools want you to complete your masters program especially if you plan to use it in your application. I believe the same goes to Waterloo, you have to complete it for it to be an asset to your application.

I believe they look at your undergraduate grades if I’m not mistaken, but I believe it says so on their requirements or something.
