Re: 2013 Optometry, Glasgow CaledoniaHi
To study optometry at Glasgow is very difficult to get in as its the only place that does it in Scotland. Best thing to do is do well in Maths, Physics and Biology. These are the main subjects that you will use in the course, more so physics and biology.
Make ur personal statement for UCAS stand out, tell them you did work experience in a opticians.
In the end its around 60 places that are available and over 2000 people apply if not more.
I wish you the best.
I'm a optician that studied in Glasgow Caledonian.
