OAT Scores

[OptoMra]

Hi everyone,
could you please share your experience with this:

which score do you think is more important for optometry schools?
Total science
or academic average

I got a good total science (390), but unfortunately, 340 for academic average and I'm really worried about it

Well I recently applied to four of my schools with a 340AA and 360 TS and got interviews to all if that makes you feel better. Your TS is impressive. I think you're fine as long as your GPA and extracurriculars are good enough.

Oh thank you so much for your reply, I really appreciate it.
Yes my GTA is not bad (3.57)
May I ask which school did you applied for?
I'm thinking about applying for the SUNY and NECO.

Sure. Applied to SCCO, SCO, AZCOPT, WesternU. And my gpa is 3.48. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to get invites!

No problem! I was in your shoes before. SCCO is my number 1 and I didn't think my stats were good enough for interview invites. But you'll never know!
