you were able to do better the second time - got a 300. that's basically the threshold in my opinion. of course, it depends on which schools you want to apply to, as it does make a difference. but if i were you, instead of re-studying for it and taking it again, i would focus to bring up my gpa.

good luck.

oat is as the other member said, at the lower limit of acceptability

gpa is slightly below average. i would say that trying to up your gpa in your forth year will be difficult, b/c it's a diluted number.

some schools look at gpa trending, so if you are consistently improving your gpa each yr it counts towards something

if you apply to all 16 schools, i would place your odds at 25% w/o considering extracirricular info.

ps. retake the oat and aim for 360+ 👍

when did you take the exam last? would you mind indicating what the range of your percentages were?
thanks 🙂
