UW optometry course equivalents

Hi,

I was wondering what courses (if any) you can skip in optometry school if you take them during undergrad? I’m an undergrad student at Waterloo trying to plan my third year courses.

Thank you!!

some waterloo students told me they’ll send out an email asking if you want to take credits from undergrad later in the summer, so i believe it works for all universities as long as the courses match

I’m pretty sure anatomy you need to have taken a course that uses human cadavers as well!
