what schools to apply to with my stats

[optomeyes2018]

hello,
I was wondering if anyone can guide me on the schools to apply to that i would actually have a shot at because money is really tight and can't afford to take too much of a risk. My GPA is around 3.3 but it is not verified on optomcas because i submitted it a week ago. I have 2,000+ hours of shadowing as a OD tech and Ophthalmic assistant. I plan on taking the OAT in November 2018 and I'm applying for this 2018-2019 cycle.

I would wait until you get your OAT scores

Wouldn’t that be too late to apply?

No the deadline is a few months later for most schools. I'm only telling you to wait since you don't want to waste money. A 3.3 and a score of like 370 would prob get you into the majority of schools but a 3.3 and a score of 300 might not. I think ultimately it would fall on your OAT scores because of your GPA.

Your GPA is fine for most schools, look on optomcas. You also have fine ECs as mentioned, so it depends most on your future OAT score.
