I have been hesitating so bad on applying or taking a gap year after totally bombing my OAT...I don't plan on retaking the OAT for this cycle, but should I still apply with my current stats?
I'm going to send emails to admission teams to ask them about my chances in the next few days. What should I include in the email besides what I listed below?
If anyone would like to provide their own opinions, I would love to hear them! Some of my stats are below...
I've been thinking about applying for so long and my time is running short...any advice or opinions on how what you would do in this situation is highly appreciated! Thank you so much :')
(I might shorten my list of schools if I'm going to take my chances this cycle but I'm considering all of these schools: NSUO, Salus/PCO, NECO, SUNY, UHCO, ICO, OSUO, AZOPT, MBKUO, SCCO!)
