Questions about transitioning to Optometry
Hello, I graduated with a bachelors in biomedical engineering but unfortunately I do not think I want to make a profession out of it.
I was considering transitioning to optometry but I wanted to ask for your thoughts.
I have taken 2 physics classes with lab, 1 molecular biology course with lab, 1 systems physiology with lab, 1 stats (tho for engineers), 3 calcs, 2 chem with lab, and orgo 1 with lab. I have a 3.32 GPA.
Can I transition from BME to pre optometry with these course credits? Is...

Online Prerequisites
During spring of 2021 my college offered only online physics lab but had hybrid lecture physics classes where you could either be in person or online in the same class and you would just join via zoom with the rest of the students. I opted to remain remote for that semester for various reasons, the main being that I was an employed EMT that needed to work to support family but also felt it unfair to expose other students with what I was exposed to. Is taking that course online a problem for...
