So i am scheduled for my first OAT next month. I am still applying to this cycle but i just got notified of an interview. Is that normal? and would it be better to scheudle my interview for after my oat or before?

Hi there,

Yes that is normal. Though it seems weird, this is why schools stress submitting your applications early. That process takes at least 4 weeks, versus the OAT scores being sent to each school (2-3 weeks). I got an interview in February, and I don’t take my OAT until late March. I hope this helps.

So would it be better to schedule my interview before my OAT or after? my oat isn't until late march too
