Hello! I would like some advice from the good people of this forum concerning my OAT results, which I got back yesterday. My cGPA is 3.2 and my sGPA is a bit below that (ditto with my pre-reqs - my post-bacc years-long repair process mostly focused on upper divisions). My biggest strength is my years of service in the ophthalmic field with both clinical and research accolades, which comes attached to good recommendations.
My score is as follows:
QR: 330
RC: 340
Biology: 350
GC: 290
OC: 280
Physics: 280
Total Science: 300
Academic Average: 310
My dream school is SCCO because it is relatively local and fits where I eventually would like to practice in the future. That being said, I have applied to all the California, Texas and Arizona schools to spread out my chances.
So...how screwed am I? I'm aware that we're getting later into the cycle and I already sent an alert to my schools that I completed my OAT. I'm guessing that Berkeley and maybe Houston are out of the question, though I apparently made the average for Western overall.
I'm just looking for some advice. I'm pretty disappointed with the results overall, though I'm surprised that the Biology score turned out pretty alright. I'm just wondering how much the <300 scores are going to bite me in the arse...
I was told that it should be alright, considering my work experience and my recommendations (mostly from SCCO alumni), but I'm pretty skeptical overall.
Thanks!
