Status: Optometrist. The average GPA for most optometry schools is usually somewhere around 3.40 or higher; therefore, some enter with 4.0s while others get in 3.0s. I personally got in with a 3.26, which is misleading in that my GPA for my first three years was 2.4 while my last three years was around 3.68.epends on what your GPA is....if you have a 2.5, and a masters i doubt you will get in, just my opinion. If you have like a 2.9, and show that you are excelling in your masters program, maybe yeah. Anyways, if your GPA is low, you should take science classes to boost up, like a Post-Bacc or something.
Education. If you want to become an optometrist, you'll need about eight years of education. Depending on how fast you work, you might be able to graduate sooner if you take on additional credit hours or complete coursework during the summer. A bachelor's degree in an appropriate subject, like chemistry or biology, is the first step. Under normal circumstances, this degree takes four years to acquire. After that, you'll begin your optometry program. This program lasts four years and results in a Doctor of Optometry degree. As of November 2013, there were 23 schools accredited by the American Optometric Association, the accrediting body for optometry schools (www.aoa.org).
