Hi! So I just submitted my application a week and a half ago and so far only 2/4 of my recommendation letters are in but they should all be in be the end of the week. My GPA calculations still aren't up. Does anyone know how long this takes? Also, I'm applying with a 3.502 GPA and a science GPA around the same maybe a 3.35 at the lowest. My OAT scores were a 310 Total Science and a 330 Academic Average. Has anyone gotten interviews yet that is applying with similar scores? Thanks!!

I had around a 3.4 overall GPA with a 3.2 Science gpa & got a 330AA and a 360TS and received several interviews. I think you should be able to get an interview with your current stats but if you take the oat again and do better, i bet you will get a good number of interviews. It also depends on what kind of shadowing experience you had, Extra Curricular activities, etc.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your feedback! I have a decent amount of extracurriculars (honors program at my school, IM sports, panhellenic sorority, Honors Fraternity, a Job, I studied abroad, a few other things I'm forgetting) and of a lot volunteer work with children's miracle network, relay for life, light the night, DM. I have 30+ hours volunteering/being a tech at a VA eye clinic, 1 month spent shadowing a private practice optometrist every day, and 14 hours shadowing in a commerical setting.
