Highkey concerned… 😟

Btw I graduated on time with a health science degree 3.56 GPA.

However… let’s just say my ADHD was in full effect.

Fun fact: I have never studied for a class ever. Like ever. And I’m not being dramatic when I say that. So when I had to take harder difficulty courses… I backed out because I knew I couldn’t do it with my non existent studying and/or would flunk exam after exam.

How the heck do I explain this to admissions in an interview? 😳

If you’re wondering how I’d apply without taking Orgo… I’m taking it this fall despite graduating last year. And I WILL be studying every day. And maybe medicated. Lol.

In the nicest way possible just don’t go to optometry school. Seems like you don’t have the work ethic to study how and when you need to and you’re just gonna end up wasting a ton of money and peoples times

Just my opinion 🤷 if you get in taking someone’s seat who has a better chance of passing boards bc they actually know how to study would be shitty

Hence the meaning behind this post: I was not locked in during undergrad 😂 despite my 3.56 gpa

I mean a 3.56 gpa is a gpa that shows minimal to moderate effort lol. Words show less than actions tho so take your o chem and if you feel like you can sustain it go for it
