I started studying for OAT a week ago, but I'm not sure if I'll be completely ready to take it in mid-August (which is when I initially hoped to take the OAT). I was planning to wait until at least early November to send in my applications, at the latest in mid-December (because I want to have enough shadowing experience and have enough time to get the letters of rec done). I want to apply to ICO, SUNY, NECO, and maybe a few more. I have 3.5 GPA, 3.23 science.
Would you recommend that I get OAT done with in mid-August or wait until October to take it? When is everyone taking the OAT?
Also, how detrimental is it to apply early? I know it's rolling admission, but would November/December be way too late? I want to be safe, but I don't want to rush either.
