I need your help. I am a junior at one of the best state school. My GPA is 3.1 and my OAT score AA 310 and 300. I am planning to take OAT again. I am active committee member in optometry club and other clubs. I have worked in research company, did 50hrs volunteer work at children's hospital, 15hrs followed 2 optometrists.
I am planning to take OAT 2nd time in this July and I am thinking I will get 330 score.
My question is should I apply in July 2016 for next year or take a gap year and work at optometrist office and get experience?
I want to apply this July but if I do not get in then would it look bad if I apply in 2017 July?
Do you think I can get in optometry school in USA without taking gap year?
