Lowish science subscores, but high TS/AA?

[preoptstudent3]

I applied pretty broadly, but do you think some optometry schools will ask me to retake it because my science scores are low?

For context - I have a 3.8 GPA and optometry experience.

No most want at least 300. I had a similar situation if anything they will ask how you are so good at ochem.

Where did you end up attending optometry school?

especially considering your high gpa, I wouldn’t sweat it. Your scores are fine

I took the OAT and received AA: 350 and TS: 340.
My overall scores are decent, but the subscores for my science sections were kinda bad. PHYS: 320; BIO: 330; GCHEM: 310; OCHEM: 380. OCHEM saved me haha.

I bombed one of my sections (sub 300) but pretty good in the other sections. and I have been accepted to several schools. Just be prepared to answer why you think the scores ranged. I’m sure you’ll be fine!
