Hello,

I will probably have a 3.2-3.3 gpa by the time I graduate. I have a lot of leadership experience at my university and very involved. Also president of pre-optometry and really have a strong passion for the career. However with my low gap, I am not sure I will get accepted.

What are my chances/ how can I become competitive?

I have not yet taken my OATs....

That's not a bad GPA. I've seen acceptances of lower GPAs. Your extracurricular activities will definitely help you, but do try and exceed in the OAT. A great OAT can buffer a low GPA and vice versa.
