All you have to do now is APPLY! Might be kind of late for this cycle (although you can still try, just make sure to check the deadlines for each school), otherwise you can prepare to apply for the next cycle which opens up in July. Your OAT score is fine, so no need to worry about that. and yes, schools see your TS and AA scores as well as your score for each individual subject. Good luck!

Thank you! I will probably not apply for a little while and so was wondering what happens if I don't apply but OPTOMCAS/Prometric send my scores to the schools.. what happens when they receive my scores but I'm not even in their system, would I have to have the scores re-sent once I do apply? etc. That's all I was wondering. And thanks for the note on the scores -- I was worried I would have to retake that exam! Was not looking forward to that!

Only one school is still accepting applications this cycle via optomcas and that is Ohio state, western, nva rosenburg and puerto rico some schools are still interviewing but you better hurry up and get your optomcas completed

Congrats on the good score, but that's not really an option for you at this point.

Thank you. Why not? I meant in a reasonable amount of time before the score expires of course.

Hi! I'm pretty positive that schools will keep your scores, so if you were to apply in July for next cycle they would already have that part of your application and would only need the rest! Your OAT scores are good, I think if you apply right when the cycle opens (in July or August), you would be at a good advantage despite the fact that your GPA may not be as high. I think it's in your best interest to apply early next cycle and I don't think you would have any issues getting interviews.

Deadlines are long past for some schools and others are quickly approaching. I'm assuming you are trying to apply this cycle?

Hi,
I was worried for a second! No, I meant that I will most likely apply the next cycle (this July) or later (the cycle after that). 🙂

Thank you! Have you applied already? If so, I would love to hear your experience. I am relieved to have taken the exam and have it over with finally, and wanted to take a big long breath before startin the next steps. 🙂

Oh, my bad then. Yeah, you are fine. I don't see you having any trouble getting in at some of your top choices.

Thank you! I have a question on deferring enrollment, should I start a new thread do you think, or ask here? (New to the SDN and want to follow procedures correctly.)

I just joined as well. It's a separate topic so I'd say create a new thread.
