Optometry Auckland University

[Ranger]

Hi, wondering if anyone knows if we require a B+ min in the 6 prerequisite courses to be eligible for optometry at university of Auckland? Thank you

From a glance at a relevant publication I gather that you must have a minimum GPA of 6 (B+) but no minimum paper requirements.

I suggest you contact the faculty for a more official statement though.

www.fmhs.auckland.ac.nz/faculty/undergrad/_docs/optom-faq.pdf

Applicants must complete eight first year courses as below in Bachelor of Science (BSc- Biomedical
Science) at The University of Auckland or equivalent,
and achieve a minimum GPA of 6 (B+ average)
across the six required prerequisite courses (as listed
below and highlighted).
All applicants deemed eligible will then be ranked on
their grades achieved in the prerequisite courses.

Optom in UoA is ranked 50% interview and 50% GPA. People with 6.5-7 GPAs usually have a good chance

Hi,

Just wondering if UoA optometry has a bias against UoA vs. Otago students when applying? Thanks

As far as I know, the answer is no.
