Hello everyone!
I am the first in my family to go to college, so I know very little about applying to graduate programs and the sort. Can you guys critique my OAT and GPA and tell me if you think I have a chance of getting into a school? Thank you.
QR: 310 (57.0%)
RC: 350 (75.2%)
Bio: 360 (86.8%)
GChem: 400 (100%) (no idea how this happened...)
Ochem: 320 (68.6%)
Physics: 320 (81.5%)
TS: 350 (87.1%)
AA: 340 (84.1%)
My college GPA is a 3.220 and I am a physiology major. However, I have retaken 5 classes throughout my career. I feel like this is a huge downside to my application. I was too busy with work, extracurriculars to obtain the grades I wanted to the first time around...
I'm applying to IAUPR, MCPHS, Pacific University, Salus, and New England College of Optometry. I'm probably going to apply to other schools as well after my next paycheck comes in!
I have shadowed, worked in eye clinics, been a board member of optometry club at my college, and have TA'd for a microbiology class. I have experience as philanthropy chairman and president of my fraternity pledge class as well.
Do you guys think I have a shot of getting in? I'm scared the number of retakes I have taken might look bad in the eyes of schools, but my OAT score is decent, in my opinion.
I am also Mexican. I don't know if being a minority will help me or not...
Thank you.
