From the UCB Career Center website:

Grades and OAT scores are important, because they tend to be good predictors of potential success in the optometry curriculum. In 1997, the range of the average grade point (GPA) for the entering class at all sixteen optometry schools was 3.10 to 3.59 with the overall range being 2.50 to 4.0. The average OAT scores for all sixteen schools and colleges ranged from 320 to 364 on a scale that ranges from 200 to 400. Admission Committees tend to look for consistency in the applicant's overall GPA and the OAT scores.
