Can I get into optometry school with a 290 oat score and a 3.2 gpa?

[Pre-optometry student]

I know my sores are not great.

Definitely retake the oat to increase your chances.

Depend on what school you want to apply and when will you apply.

As you can see from average OAT and GPA of admitted students, most are around at least 300 or over. That being said you are close to the 300 mark! You could always leave it as is and try applying, but just know you might not get into your top choice.

If you are applying for this upcoming cycle in July you could always retake it!! You have the time and experience now that you've taken it once, it's always easier the 2nd time around.

If you have any circumstances you can attribute to low grades put that in your personal statement or supplementals. They will ask for extenuating circumstances.
