Hi,
I am a junior, biology major, as a pretty well-known University. I am going to be applying to optometry schools this summer & had some questions regarding GPA's, as I am slightly worried about mine. I didn't do too well my freshman year, as my science classes were weed-out classes. My freshman year GPA was 3.072. However, I did a lot better my sophomore & junior years. My sophomore GPA was a 3.7; my fall semester junior year GPA was 3.712. Therefore, my freshman year GPA has really brought my overall GPA down, as my overall GPA is a 3.433. I was wondering if optometry schools will take into consideration my upward trend in grades moreso than my overall GPA? SUNY is my top choice btw. Other schools I am applying to are: PCO, MCPHS, NECO, and Nova.
Can anyone tell me what they think my chances of getting into optometry would be considering my GPA (especially to SUNY)?
Thanks!
