Dilemma!

Hey all,

I took my OAT back in November and got boderline scores on both TS and AA. I am planning to retake it in mid February an aim for 350 TS and AA. My question is will that be sufficient time for adcom to review my application and decide on granting me an interview? When will schools stop sending out invites? Is it in March? I turned in my apps 1.5 months ago and haven't heard back. Please advise.

I think it will be. I don't know how long it takes for schools to receive your OAT scores but many schools will keep sending out acceptances as late as the day before class and stuff. Many of the seats will be taken, but I think it is safe to say that not ALL hope is lost.
You should also keep in touch with the school and definitely call or email to check up on your application. They may have already sent you something which got lost in the mail, or they might not have received all the components of your application. That's the advice I've been given from many sources so pick up that phone right now (or after Christmas) and give them a call. Hopefully you can get an interview before having to retake the OAT which would set you back another hundred something bucks.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your response! My application is complete at all the schools I applied to and now it's just the waiting game. I am pretty sure that none of the schools have granted me an interview invite yet. My OAT falls in the avg range and my GPA is below average so I know my GPA is keeping me away from an interview.
