Hi, I was wondering what my chances were with a 3.0 GPA, 360 TS and 350 AA. My lowest score on the OAT was a 300 on the Reading Comprehension.

I'm hoping to get into SCCO in the fall of 2011. Any input would be very valuable. Thanks guys.
 
I think you have a good chance. Your OAT's are great and SCCO asks that you at least score a 300 in RC. Your GPA is a little low, but your OAT scores should offset that. Depending on your shadowing/volunteering, I think you have a good shot.

good job on your OAT! 😀

the only advice i have for you is make sure you have shadowing experience. it was definitely a topic during my interview. they wanted me to compare my experience working at lenscrafters (corporate) and at a private office.

also, just a heads up... my gpa is around yours and they basically asked me what happened and why i got the grades that i did. 🙁

good luck!
 
thanks for the help guys.

I took a kaplan class for the OAT but that wasn't too helpful. I just pretty much studied an entire summer prior to the test. not much else that i can say that i did.
