I am interested to know how my OAT score stacks up against others out there and if I have a chance at optometry schools even with a low overall GPA.
QR: 380
RC: 270
BIO:350
GC: 340
OC: 360
PHYS: 400
TS: 380
AA: 350
A bit of background about me: I Graduated in engineering, so that might explain the HIGH physics/QR mark
So I am in a situation where I no longer want to do Engineering as a career and would like to pursue Optometry instead, However my GPA from engineering is extremely low
(2.5 GPA) which I know is not normal for optometry and most schools are looking for at least a 3.0 gpa, but in fairness I feel like a bachelor in Engineering is a lot more difficult than sciences so would they take that into consideration when picking applicants? Do I even stand a chance at any schools if I apply or will I be most likely rejected? Would appreciate any input. Have a great day!
