Hello everyone!
So I am scheduled to take the OAT Aug 27th, and I am EXTREMELY nervous. I prepared with one of Kaplan's courses which I felt didn't help very much, but I am determined to keep studying and hopefully gain more confidence. (My section practice tests scores have been ranging from 270-330). Anyway I recently submitted my optomcas application to ICO, NECO, NOVA, IU, and MCPHS. I have a 3.6 cGPA, and 3.3 science (which is my final GPA, just graduated with my BS). About 80 hours of shadowing 5 different doctors. Worked many hours as an ABOC optician. Many extra circulars (cheer, choir, volunteering), and even founding the pre-optometry club on my campus. My main question is if I don't do well on the OAT do you think schools will deny me acceptance, or since I applied early in the cycle will they allow me to retake it and then decide on admissions?
Any feedback would be awesome! Thanks!!
