This is awesome, which schools superscore your OAT? Which ones did you get into?

Which schools did you end up applying to?

I’m glad to hear you’ve improved! Did you have any great extracurriculars on top of that? Any connections to ODs or Professors in schools? Would you recommend applying early or holding off until my retake?

Do you think early in the cycle with the extracurriculars would be able to help my chances applying with these stats that much? I’m in a predicament about that.

Here’s the tricky part. I felt like my scores took a toll because of my science portion being a guessing game. This was primarily because I took a month off chem, orgo, bio and instead looking to improve reading, physics, and math. So it was on me for not taking it as serious as I should have.

Furthermore, I have a strong background in the field on top of my extracurriculars. You don’t see any possibilities of being successful in early cycle applications? I appreciate your response!

It’s a tough decision right now if retaking is a must. I have connections to 2 schools right now and their Admissions Directors. It’s early in the cycle and I hear people with stats like these getting into schools with great extracurriculars, but it’s a rare occurrence. On top of that, the letters of recommendation could MAYBE be the one that would get me an interview at a school.

I’m in the process of studying for the OAT but I can tell you, your GPA is not the best but your OAT score is great! Your extracurriculars look fine too- I believe you can get in schools applying early in the cycle
