APPLICATION TO OPTOMETRY SCHOOL

There are no optometry schools in Georgia, and only a few out-of-state schools admit non-resident students. The preoptometry student should obtain information from individual optometry schools and also consult the advisor for this area before preparing applications. Most optometry schools require the Optometry Admission Test (OAT), which require an on-line application. The OAT consists of multiple-choice items distributed across a battery of four tests: the Survey of the Natural Sciences, Reading Comprehension, Physics, and Quantitative Reasoning Tests. Application to optometry school should be made about a year in advance of the intended entry date. However, it is important to have completed coursework in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology prior to taking the exam as it examines the applicant's knowledge in all four of these areas.
