If you cannot tell, everyone is trying to be humorous (sarcastic).
Your scores are great, your gpa is great, but you're applying late in the cycle.

What %tile is your AA and TS?

your scores kick my butt and i already got accepted, so you should be good =]

Numbers are a HUGE part of getting accepted. Lucky for you, your numbers are stellar.

Thankfully for the profession, numbers aren't the only thing they consider though. Although it will definitely make any school take a look at you, it is no golden ticket.

As long as the rest of your application is "decent" and you apply to a few schools, you will get in somewhere for sure.

Yea, you should definitely retake the OAT. LoL

 

[od2010]

That looks very pretty. how did you do it? What kind of books do you use?

 

[sugarhype10]

Whoa, your scores are awesome! I'm taking the OAT exam myself this summer, so will you tell me how you studied for your exam?

From what I've learned from peers who have been accepted to optometry schools, your numbers look solid. I agree with the other members who say that grades/scores are not everything, so it is important to prepare yourself for a great interview.

Good luck!!
