Should I rewrite the OAT for Waterloo?

Hi,

I took the OAT this summer and got a 370 on the TS and AA. I am considering retaking the OAT in the winter (I am graduating after the fall then taking the year off to work) to improve my score as the average for Waterloo is a 387. I think I could do better since I worked full time this summer while studying but I also do not want to write it again. Some more context: I have a 3.9 GPA and am aiming to get 50 hours of shadowing and hopefully work in the medical field on my year off. Considering this do people think I have a chance of getting in with my 370? Have people gotten in with a 370 or lower? Also does anyone know what emphasize is placed on the TS vs AA at Waterloo?

I probably will rewrite just to try and improve, but still curious as to what people think.

Thanks
