Hi. Do you all think i have a shot at getting into Optometry school if I have a low GPA---2.8-2.9 but I score good on the OAT (320-340)? I have done volunteer work and my Dad is an optometrist so I have plenty of work with him. Do you think schools will see that as a positive?

thanks

Your chances depends a lot on what school you're applying to (among MANY other factors). Go to http://www.opted.org/info_profile2.cfm to compare your stats with school averages.
