Hi guys I have took the OAT over the summer. I want to tell my story because there is hope and don’t ever give up. I had a low gpa literally a 3.00 and my science was around 2.87. I’m currently in my gap year right now. I self studied and didn’t pay for the Kaplan class but I have materials from that class I got from another student on SDN! I studied for 2 months and went to the library 6-8 hours a day. I took Sunday off. I knew I had no choice but to get a great score so I eliminated social life pretty much and kept discipline. During my studying time to the library from 9/10-3 then go back to the library 8-10. After studying I would go the gym and repeat that cycle. I followed a calendar from Aris DAT schedule but made my own tweaks to it. I have all the materials and books needed to get a good score and ended up getting
AA: 340
TS: 330
I applied end of September and got into everywhere I applied ICO, Midwestern-IL, Salus, AZCOPT, NOVA southeastern. I committed to Midwestern-IL due to the school being close to home and save money on expenses

Message me separately if you want advice on my OAT game plan and the materials I used! I’m willing to help out!
 
Thank your for your post! What extracurriculars did you have? I have a low gpa also and plan on taking the OAT and applying this summer. Other than getting more shadowing hours, What would you recommend me to do from now til the summer?
 
thanks for posting your story!! It gives me hope. 🙂 I was wondering if you could msg me the materials you studied and your study calendar? I honestly dont know where to begin!

Honestly just focus on the OAT put In hours 6-8 everyday for at least two months and Sunday’s I took off. It’s all about being discipline and not getting distracted!

Yes I can just shoot me a direct message on here. I don’t know why but SDN isn’t letting me message you!
