Hello!
I was interested in applying to UCB optometry this coming application, but I took my OAT with a massive headache and a runny nose :( Basically no focus at all. I was getting near 340 Total in my practice tests all 300+ with quantitative reasoning as one of my top scores. Having said that, my real OAT score is a bit embarrassing:

QR 280
RC 300
Bio 340
GC 390
OC 300
P 290
TS 330
AA 320

how likely is it for me to be admitted to UCBO with a really high GPA and these lame scores? I'm also hispanic, does that even mater? Thanks in advance guys

I don't know how much difference an URM makes with UCB but those scores aren't awful. You might be more competitive with other schools. I think the two scores below 300 hurt it the most but depending on your ECs, accomplishments/honors/awards, and shadowing/working it'll make the most difference with your score.

If you're unsure I'd just contact admissions directly for a chat/consultation. Nothing beats hearing it directly from the source.
Good luck :)
