ABOUT PRE-OPTOMETRY SOCIETY AT UCLA

We are dedicated to supporting, educating and promoting pre-optometry students. We offer information about optometry schools, contacts in the profession of optometry, helpful hints and insights about the application and interview process, and form many friendships in the process.

​

A typical meeting will include a guest speaker who will share his/her experiences in the profession of optometry or a related field. Our speakers include optometrists, ophthalmologists, optometry students, and optometry school admissions officers. Topics include research opportunities in optometry, scholarships available for optometry school, private practice, student life, optometry vs. ophthalmology, admissions requirements, taking the OAT, and much more!

​

You will have the opportunity to meet and talk with admissions officers and optometrists as well as gain valuable tips and strategies for your application and interview process. Look for our fliers around campus to find our meeting time and place, or sign up on MyUCLA to receive emails about our meetings. Our email is uclapreopt@gmail.com, if you would like contact us!
