my cumulative gpa is around 3.2.
I have over a 1000 volunteer hours with tons of different organizations and 100 hours of shadowing. i am in my fourth year.

so should i withdraw my application and apply again next year or should i still write my OAT and hope I will still get accepted with my low gpa considering the fact that i wont even have a degree.
Personally I don't think there is any hope for me at this point. since i dont think any of the schools will overlook the fact that I don't have a degree!
ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED!
have you given any thought to Puerto Rico? they may still be accepting applications, and they may still consider you without your bachelors degree. Ask them about your OAT too...youre pretty much on the cutoff....but hey, you could get lucky eh?!? you'll never know until you ask. it could save you a year of waiting if they do accept you and the other schools do not
