Am I good enough for UC Berkeley?!

[tsp8380]

So I just took my OAT today and I was aiming for 360-370 but did not reach my goal unfortunately 🙁 I really REALLY want to go to UC Berkeley but I don't know what my odds are now....

OAT:
QR: 330
BIO: 320
PHY: 300 😕😕
RC: 340
OC: 390
GC: 360

TS: 340
AA: 340


I'm okay with my score. I'm not upset but I'm not super excited. Super disappointed in the physics but what can I do at this point. I feel like my scores are OKAY but good enough for Berkeley, I'm not sure...? Any thoughts?! My GPA is a 3.80, my optometry experiences are mostly just shadowing... no work experience or volunteer in opto... And I'm an out of state applicant if that matters for anything (seems like 90% of the Berkeley class is..) Do you think I would be a competitive applicant with these stats?!

No man, that is a horrible GPA and a terrible OAT result. You should give up your optometry dreams entirely, much less going to Berkeley, unless you redo all your classes for 4.0s and retake the OAT for 400.😀😀



jk, great job👍👍 You should be fine, but I'm no expert.🙄

The average OAT score for Berkeley is about a 359 i believe? but your GPA is amazing! Berkeley only considers chemistry, physics, and biology in calculating your GPA though

I def think u have a fair shot 🙂 just apply a few other schools to be safe!! good luck

I got in to UCBSO with similar stats, so you definitely have a shot! Good luck 🙂
