omggg no way, end of years didn’t go so good either, stressed but ready for my summer academic comeback💪 hopefully i can try and work on my chemistry. I have like care home volunteering experience but I’m gonna try and ask to go specsavers or any opticians and shadow. What exactly did u do and how did u ask them?
i shadowed a few opticians during the eye tests and did a bit of pre-screening exams myself but i was mainly just on the shop floor for the most of it talking to the pre-regs that were there. i live in brum so aston would probs be my top choice but honestly just need my predicted to be patterned by next year. wbu
i went to the open day in aston today it was so nice wth, really wanna go aston ugh. ou okay i defo need to get some work exp then cus that sounds nice. yh aston grades are quite high lol chemistry needs to be patttterned cus i dont do 3 sciences i do bio chem psych so the grades i need is AAA ffs
yeahh i went too, i do 2 sciences aswell but bio maths and psych. they've really increased the grades since past years when people were getting in with bbc but they did say if the interview goes really well theyll lower it to AAB.
BBC??? dpmo wtf i’m jealous acc imagine. AAB is better ig 😒, how did u find the talk n the tours

Ou what makes you want to do biochem and what makes you want to do optometry, they're quite different

biochem because I like bio and optometry because I don't want to go into med and have no idea what I want to do with my life so I just went with what looked fun (my eyesight fluctuates a lot between good and bad so I grew up going to the opticians quite a bit and thought it looked like a fun thing to do - am aware that it is probably not as fun as I saw it to be but life isn't always set, I'll figure out what I actually want to do eventually lol!)
Hi, I'm looking to do optom next year as well at aston, however my EOYs went extremely bad. My grades were CDE, and im trying to use the summer to at least boost my grades up by 2, i do bio chem econ, and bio&chem is what i have done bad in, and i know the requirements are quite high, is there any advice you guys could give me - whats the most efficiebt way to revise?
Hi~ I'm looking to apply to Optom this year as well. I am going to the Autumn open days instead. Hoping to look at Bradford, Manchester, and UoHertfordshire 😁
hey, also planning on applying for optom too, my predicted grades are a bit dodgy rn at BBC but been grinding over summer hoping to improve each by one hopefully when we have resits in september so hopefully AAB worst case ABB ( the C is in bio) i do bio chem maths thinking of like city manchester aston and idk what else ive done 3 days w/e at pharmacy and a hospital i also volunteered at a hospital for like 5 months ish i initially wanted to do med at start of year 12 but sort of changed my mind if u didnt notice lol
I’m thinking of applying to optom. I originally wanted to do dentistry but I’ve been interested in optom, I’ve got no work experience, how did you guys get optom related work experiment. I’m thinking of applying to the foundation year

I need to do a foundation year because i only have bio and they want 2 sciences, i have psych too but not all of them accept it as the science unfortunately

I don’t think it would be that much of an issue as long as you link what you learnt during your w/e to an optoms role. You could also read an article from an optom related journal and expand a bit on that
yeah thats my plan trying to find stuff about optom myb a ted talk or article etc
