<p>sorry, buddy, the joint degree programs in optometry aren’t as well known as some of the others, so it’ll be hard to give you a legitimate chance here. I can tell you some things that might look weak though. First, you think you can get that SAT score to above 2000? I think that would help significantly. Also, your EC’s are lacking any healthcare related activities. You think you can fit one in this last summer before you apply? That’s all I got, gpa looks good, course load is okay, just try to work on what I’m saying and you should be in top shape! g’luck to you!</p>

<p>This is coming from Lehigh’s website:
Students may apply to this program either during their initial application or during their enrollment at Lehigh. For high school students, criteria for selection include demonstrated maturity, an interest in (and basic understanding of) the optometric profession, a minimum combined SAT score of 1300, and a ranking in the top 10% of the high school class. For first- or second-year Lehigh students, a minimum overall and math/science GPA of 3.3 in prerequisite undergraduate coursework at the time of application is required, with no grade below a C. </p>

<p>So basically I just need to raise my scores by 20 points, being I have a 1280? Once I raise my scores when I retake, will I have a good chance?</p>
