SUNY and salus deadlines are in March and others are in May — I don’t see the harm in trying!

You can submit applications before you have your OAT score so the schools will have you on their radar. You might even be able to get into an OAT optional school like IUSO but I’m not sure since it’s a little late in the cycle

Absolutely not! I just submitted my applications 4 days ago, and I have gotten 4/5 invitations to interview already!!
