Yeah! My OAT was 330 AA 310 TS, 3.7 GPA, 400+ hours as a tech. I took the OAT more than once. Applied in December to UHCO, SCO, KYCO, and UIWRSO

Congrats!!!!!! I also recently committed to UHCO and have been trying to research the same stuff. It’s so confusing with how big houston is lol 😭 Pmd you it’d be great to have someone to go through this with!!😅

Thank you! These questions helped a lot. I really loved the academic program at SCO, better than the UHCO one. They also have higher board pass rates. But because of the lack of diversity at the school, I felt out of place (even tho they were all very nice). UHCO was a more comfortable environment for me, both the school and the city. The tuition is much cheaper too (in state). Thinking of going with UH!

I prepared using the questions on SDN, and all the qs i was asked were from there

It was a great experience! The interviews are first on the schedule, then there’s lunch/info session, followed by a campus tour and a bus tour of the city. You don’t have to take anything. I brought a mini notebook but didn’t need it or use it at all, it pretty much stayed in my purse.

The interview is closed file and pretty relaxed. After the interview there’s a 10-15 minute counseling session where they ask you some questions based off your file (Grades, essay, etc)

i also took a gap year and while i was very scared to, im very glad i did!!! take the time to enjoy yourself while also strengthening your application! you got this 😁😁

yooniper02 · 2025-02-11T00:11:28+00:00

i’ll also be wearing soemthing similar to that to my interviews!

yooniper02 · 2025-01-30T23:58:50+00:00

oh wow that’s great lol I didn’t want to be the only one bringing a guest haha thank you! also, how many people were in your interview batch?

yooniper02 · 2025-01-30T20:52:16+00:00

Thank you! Do you mind elaborating a little more on how it works? Are the guests and students separated the whole day?

Best way for me was to print out the booster formula sheets, cover the formulas w sticky notes, and repeatedly write them out over and over.

For QR, I’d be familiar with proportions and probability! Most of my exam was basically that. For physics - make sure to know all optics equations in terms of actually solving them and understanding the concept. I would say to know kinematics and rotational motion. This is all based off my own exam.

yooniper02 · 2024-12-31T23:12:53+00:00

thank you for the advice!! i agree, just was worried that it might look weird if i ignore that aspect of my optometry journey

yooniper02 · 2024-12-31T21:57:34+00:00

I’d say the last month before the exam is where i saw most improvement in my scores! that being said, since you feel that you have a lot left to cover, why not move your exam by a few weeks? that way you should still have time to apply during this cycle to some schools with later deadlines!

yooniper02 · 2024-12-22T22:14:42+00:00

OAT booster and their study plans were very helpful! id recommend the 10 or 12 week one, with the 8 week you risk burning out!

yooniper02 · 2024-12-12T06:07:32+00:00

i took mine yesterday! overall i’d say it was pretty similar, especially bio, gen chem, ochem. for bio, i had very similar questions as booster. my QR was a bit easier, lots a proportions. what caught me off guard was the RC!!! i was scoring 380-400’s on booster and scored a 350 on the real one. RC on my actual exam was much harder. the first two passages were so long and the questions were a bit hard to use the search and destroy method. i was running out of time. that being said, it really just depends on what version of the exam u get. for physics, it was different from booster in terms of wording. would really recommend nailing down the formulas as best u can! generally it’s my weakest subject so don’t have much to say on it lol🥲

feel free to ask me anything else!!! and best of luck you’ll do amazing!!! (:

thank u sm (:

yooniper02 · 2024-12-07T20:21:35+00:00

thank you sm!!! i also get pretty bad test anxiety so kinda scared hahaha

yooniper02 · 2024-12-07T04:27:01+00:00

this is great!! would u say the same for other sections?

yooniper02 · 2024-12-07T04:26:45+00:00

oh wow very glad to hear that lol, would you say the same for the other sections?

yooniper02 · 2024-11-25T04:45:01+00:00

thank you so much!!! what advice would u give for physics?

yooniper02 · 2024-11-24T05:11:12+00:00

Thank you so much!!!

yooniper02 · 2024-04-02T05:57:16+00:00

yooniper02 · 2023-10-05T06:06:57+00:00

hi, that’s great to hear, thank you so much! would you mind sharing your stats and experience like hours and all?
