So i had a few questions that i was hoping people could answer. I'm currently a senior at the university of illinois champaign-urbana, i have a 3.6 GPA in molecular and cellular biology + a chem minor, and i'm expecting to get around a 360/370 on my oat (from the practice exams i've taken anyway).
Since i'm gona have to be applying to schools relatively soon, I was hoping some people could give me an insight on a couple schools. I've read in the forums that there really isn't a decent ranking of the optometry schools. However, which schools would people generally agree on that have a pretty good reputation? The reason why i ask this is because I'm thinking that going to a better school would mean better job opportunities when you graduate.
also, generally how easy is it to get a job after graduation and what kind of salary can i expect in the midwest? i've been kinda having second thoughts about optometry when i compare it to similar health fields.
any insight is welcome
