OAT scores

If you submit your application with mediocre OAT scores, and then no schools extend an invitation for an interview....what happens if you retake the OAT and receive a higher score? Will they look at your profile again or do you have to wait to reapply the next year? Anyone know?

They only review apps once so make sure you have a 300 TS and AA

I don't think they will look at your app again unless you indicate in the OAT score section that you are planning to retake it. But just be aware that they will probably put your app on hold and wait to receive your new scores.

I have this question too. How do you change it on optomcas when you already submitted? Wouldn't they get notified once you take the test and the scores get sent to them?

Call schools individually and tell them you are retaking so they can put your app on hold!

Okay thanks! I have gotten interviews with my score, but I'd still like to retake to bring em up, possibly get into my number one choice. Should I still call the schools I already have an interview from?

No. If they already invited you for an interview you should be fine. Your scores were good enough to get you an interview.
