dilemma, help?

[jc10101]

I just took my oat:

QR 370 (95.4)
RC 280 (39.1)
BIO 330 (71.8)
GC 360 (93.0)
OC 400 (100)
PHY 320 (70.5)

TS 350 (87.6)
AA 340 (88.5)

so, i knew that rc was going to screw me over, it sucks bc i was getting 340-350s, and i just ran out of time and didn't allocate my time well. physics, im actually pysched about bc on my kaplan practice tests i only ever got over a 300 once, bio im kind of disappointed with, i was getting 360s on average, but there were a lot of questions on stuff i just hadn't covered.

my gpa is 3.15, im not sure about prereq gpa, but its so low bc i screwed up freshman year, and thats kept my gpa down, i have progressively improved though.

i was trying to look into the main schools i'm applying to (west coast: ucb, sccor) and check if they have a 300 cut off score on the oat but for some reason, i can't find them. do you know if its the average cut off, or a cut off for each section?

I don't think my score as a whole is competitive enough, especially with my gpa, so i was wondering what you guys think.

i'm debating taking it again and postponing my application to next summer, so i wont feel as rushed, or do you think ill have a good chance with these scores?

i'm not sure, but i will appreciate any feedback!

I graduated with a 3.1 and those were the scores I got on my OAT (AA and TS) and I was fine. Granted, I wasn't looking at the same schools you are. How is the rest of your application?
