How many schools on average do people applly for? My gpa is about 3.2 and i am FL resident, so first choicis NOVA then, SCO, WUCO, PCO thought about NECO and the other school in Massachusetts, maybe michigan. Agh. Ai'm down to like seven schools is that too much? Does it look bad on application applying to too many schools?

I definitely don't think it would look bad to apply to a lot of schools, and its always good to have a lot of options. Good luck!

And I applied to 4!

I applied to 5 and have accepted 4 interviews so far. I think it's a good number to apply to for a good number of options.

I know PCO and ICO both interview without OAT scores because those are the schools I'm interviewing at. They both explained to me that it depends on the applicant. If everything else looks great, they'll invite you to interview without your OAT's. However if everything else is just okay, they'll wait for the scores.

Don't be nervous or scared, it's still REALLY early in the application process.
