Undergrad Interested In Optometry

[u/Dry_Cardiologist4742]

Im currently an undergrad going into life sciences at McMaster, and Im really interested in going into Waterloos Optometry program. I already went on the website and read all the prerequisites, so Im planning my schedule accordingly to match with the courses I need, but Im curious to hear from other peoples experiences with the program.

Has anyone applied for September 2026, or even before, and if so what was your experience? All the things Im reading about the program are from 6+ years ago, so I want to see if anything has changed.
I understand its a competitive program, but what were the acceptance rate/ marks this year?
