Subject: A free, sourced school list for pre-optometry students

Hi all,

FutureOD (https://futureod.com) is a free, independent guide to optometry school admissions. It puts all 25 accredited U.S. and Puerto Rico programs in one place, with every figure linked to its source and dated: class GPA and OAT averages, NBEO pass rates, tuition, interview format, seat deposits and 2026–27 OptomCAS deadlines.

Three places to start:
- Stats checker: place your GPA and OAT against each school's entering class (https://futureod.com/tools/stats-checker/)
- Cost calculator: estimate four years of tuition and living costs (https://futureod.com/tools/cost-calculator/)
- Deadlines: every OptomCAS date on one timeline (https://futureod.com/deadlines/)

Core tools are free and run in your browser. No school pays to be listed.

Link to Us

A link on your advising or club resources page works best. Point it at https://futureod.com/ for the whole site, or at a single tool if that suits your students better.

Tell Us What Your Students Need

If a number is wrong for a school you know well, or students keep asking for something the site lacks, email hello@futureod.com. Corrections need the school, the figure and a source link.
