    Confused High School Kid

    Marybeth the high school kid walked in about an hour ago (normal starting) and tells us she wants to be an OD She's been accepted to Pre-OD at University of Minnesota this fall and will be leaving us in the late summer to go, The problem is the only school that I have any information on is Western University in California. Can someone(s) give me the contact info for some of the others?? Please :D

    Oh, :( I know you are sad to see her go! Try this:

    http://healthguideusa.org/optometry/...ry_schools.htm

    Hey Jacqui,

    www.opted.org has a ton of good info for pre-optometry students. If she's interested in SCO or just needs advice, give her my email! It's jnisewonger@sco.edu :) I'm always glad to help out other students!

    Bummer!

    Sorry to hear this news! She seemed perfect!

    Maybe Harry Chiling and I can move out and apprentice under your mentorship!
