If they asked you to retake OAT, then study for it and do well on it. You do not need a degree as requirement for ico/pco. Mcphs says it is strongly recommended but not required. Apply for this year. Go against the odds. Maybe you might get on a standby list or conditional acceptance for next year or a summer enrichment program at pco.

12 month wait is not a big deal if you really want to do optometry. Btw, how was mcphs? How was the campus? The area? The staff at the school? Are there clinics up and running?
