I know that there are a bunch of posts about these topics but I just have to ask. I took my OAT this weekend and my score wasn't as good as I wanted them to be.

Biology: 320
Chemistry: 350
Organic Chem: 320
Physics: 290
Quantitative Reasoning: 330
Reading Comprehension: 290
TS: 320
AA: 320

GPA: 3.4

Shadowed four different optometrists (30 hours, 48 hours, 20 hours, and 10 hours)

I sent in my application for PCO, ICO, SCO, NECO, NOVA, and Western last week so it's still being verified. Do you think I have a chance of getting an interview and ultimately getting in one of those schools?

If not, do you think I should retake my OAT. I know that there is a 90 day retake policy so I might need to reapply for next cycle. I need to get a higher OAT score, considering my reading comprehension and physics were on the low side. I already have that book Kaplan book and I used Chad's videos. What other review material should I use?

Thanks!

Nova and pco most likely you will !! I don't know much about the other schools though ! Good luck

Hi,
I actually don't think your scores are too bad. They seem right around what the people I interviewed with got. The only low one might be your reading (I was told at my interview at PCO that my score of 280 was pretty average). As far as your chances it's hard to say at this point not knowing how many seats are left.

Good luck!

Also you should be fine for western ! I have almost the same stats as you and I got interviews from western, pco, nova

Thanks! I was disappointed at my score when I got it but I just need to wait a little longer and see how it all turns out!

I'd say you still hAve a good chance. I got 330 t s 320 a a and had like a 3.2 g p a and I got interviews at PCO SCO and NOVA and I got into SCO and NOVA but didn't go to PCO interview. And I applied in November which was kinda late too. Hope this helps
