tell me about it!
im guessing most aren't cut out for dental, med or anything worthwhile*
the oat is a joke, and admissions standards are poor, BUT Optometry is quite a niche and is fairly new to other fields, like PA....not hating on Opto, just irritating that it can be in the same category as MD, DDS etc.
(there maybe 100 students who can get an acceptance into med or dental etc, but they want to do opto for various reasons)
