Hello. I just wanted some advice on my chances about getting admitted based on my oat scores and Gpa. These are my oat scores:
Bio:370
Gen Chem: 340
Ochem: 310
Physics: 280
Qr:350
Reading:350
Ts:320
AA: 330

My current Gpa is 3.3 and I attend ucla. I am a fourth year bio major and plan to apply in the next cycle. Do you recommend I retake the oat? How are my chances of getting into optometry school?

They will ask you why your physics score is low, but as long as you can show them that you did fine in your physics courses in school you will be fine!
 
You've pretty solid scores. Whether or not you should retake the OAT depends on where you are going to apply. Reach out to some admissions departments now and get their opinion. Apply early.
 
I would suggest asking admissions as well but both OAT scores and GPA are on the low end, based on what I've gathered from asking them myself. You may want to consider retaking the OAT if you are confident that you can do better.
