How will optometry school differ from my undergraduate experience?
Optometry school is an enriching and unique experience that promotes both clinical and academic excellence. The incorporation of clinical requirements and expectations beyond exam grades, will be an obvious change from your college days. Most exams will have a multiple choice format similar to that of the Boards. However, practical “hands-on” exams will test your optometric clinician skills. Since everyone has had a different college experience, it is impossible to predict how much more difficult NECO may be. Don’t be worried; enter school with an open mind and a willingness to work and succeed and you will do fine.
