Hi So i received 2 interviews so far, one from SUNY and one from ICO in december. I'm still waiting to receive decision letters from both, but SUNY did mail me a letter saying my decision is put on hold. I did not get an interview from SCCO because my RC score was below 300, and boston also said they would reevaluate my application after I retake the OAT. I really want to go to ICO, but i'm not really sure what i should do in the meantime because they said it could take a couple more weeks for the decision letter. Should I study again to retake the OAT??? I really don't want to retake the OATs, but I'm scared i might not even get in at all this year. I took it in September, so its been awhile since I've looked at the stuff and I'm not feeling confident that I'll even do much better =/. Or should I just wait a few more weeks to hear back from chicago? ANY advice would help, THANKS!
 
Everyone has there own methods actually. Though i havent taken the OATs yet, i have read enough to offer you some legit advice.

A good start would be taking a practice test and seeing where you stand at the moment. If you see that you scored lets say a 360 on General Chem and Organic Chem....chances are you probably have a good enough background to put focus on the other subjects. That said, suppose you also scored a 270 on Physics and Bio, you know those are the sections you should start with.

You can either start or end, but i would assume starting with sections you have trouble with is better, so you can actually see how far along you have progressed. Make use of different resources, and just keep track of everything you are doing and studying.
