The tables below will highlight some some data on our recent applicants. In addition, the Association of Schools & Colleges of Optometry is the national clearinghouse for data regarding optometric education and we encourage you to explore their data and surveys. But numbers don’t tell the whole story. Be sure to visit our Student Ambassador page to learn about the experiences of current students. You can email them and ask questions too!
