Sending OAT scores to schools....

[cawilli]

So after taking/scheduling the OAT if we decide to apply to more schools do we have to pay an additional $30 fee to have our scores sent to these schools? Seems a bit ridiculous considering we pay a fee to apply to schools anyway.

I guess I am wondering what gets sent to schools when we designate them, as well as what to do after deciding to apply to additional schools after scheduling the OAT; say I now want to apply to Nova, did not designate them to recieve my score when scheduling the OAT but have since designated to apply there on Optomcas. Will NOVA receive everything but my OAT scores?

Appreciate any info

You need to send a copy (or transcript, if you want to look at it that way) of you OAT scores to each school that you are applying to. The $30 you pay for each school is to ADA, who administers the test, not to Optomcas (the application) or to the school you designate. You're not sending your OAT transcript to Optomcas to forward to each school. Wish it could be that inexpensive, but ADA's got to make their money some way or another. It's the same as you having to pay some $15 to your university to send transcripts to your schools.
