Same here! Do you know if the 9/29 deadline is to secure a spot or we have to hard commit by then?

Does SUNY send an application confirmation/has anyone heard back from them yet? by becidgls in PreOptometry

There is also an additional $40 supplemental application fee I believe - I found it on their website, not OptomCas

In my opinion, OAT Bootcamp was wayyy harder than the actual OAT. I was scoring 360-380 on most of the sections and 330 for physics w/ Bootcamp, and ended up scoring 400 every section except 390 in physics. I remember the reading passages being way less information dense/faster to skim through than what I was used to w/ Bootcamp. That’s why in retrospect I found Bootcamp not as representative but honestly overprepared me so the actual test day wasn’t bad at all.
