Optometry School or Medical School?

[RiCe BoY x 4 u]

Hello Fellow Members,

I'm new here on the post. I am currently a sophomore attending University of California, Davis. Right now, I'm torn between medical school and optometry school. My grades aren't the very best, around 3.40. I've heard optometry schools have a higher acceptance rate (around 25%) compared to medical school (around 3%). Right now, medical school doesn't look so good for me. I've heard rumors that MD's work long hours and have a hard time raising a family. I want something that helps, but also allows me to have free time and raise a family. I've heard optometry is the way to go if that is what I want in life. Money also plays a role, does optometrists make good money? I think I have a better chance of getting into optometry school anyways. Please HELP!!! Any responses would be greatly appreciated =) Thank you.

Sorry, but my GPA is 3.10, not 3.40.
