Hi all!
I have applied to PCO. I have submitted everything except the OAT. (nontraditional student with a solid GPA, 3 ROLs, nursing experience in the military, 30+ shadowing hours).
The application was verified on 12/05/2020, and I got the invitation email today to choose the interview date.
The available date for the interview is 12/18/2020 and the next year.
I have been studying for OAT which I will be taking on 12/30/2020. So, I want to spend my time on studying than preparing for the interview.
However, I was wondering if people get accepted without taking the OATs. If so, I could risk myself preparing for the interview in December than studying the OATs because I can reschedule OAT later (if I get a provisional acceptance)
I read a few threads and found someone who had similar to my situation. That person did not hear the result of the interview because the admission was waiting for him to take his OAT.
I am leaning toward taking OAT then, worrying about the interview later. But I want to know for the chance that I might not need to take the OAT.
What would you do if you were in my situation?
Thank you for your advice in advance!
