Hello! Does anybody know how long it usually takes for selected schools to get the official OAT scores? Or should I just email them all to ask?

Thanks!

According to Optometry Admission Testing Program, it will take approximately 3 weeks from the date of your completed test for schools to receive your official scores. Some students have scanned and attached their unofficial scores reports and sent them to the schools to speed up the process. I don't know if this is an effective method, but note that some schools don't even look at your OAT scores unless they are official ones.

SCO had me fax them my copy of the report. My application was not complete at the time, I was still missing LORs and my essays, but they seemed to be much more interested in making sure I complete the application after receiving the fax.

I took my test on Aug 20th, and the schools didn't receive the official scores until 9/15
