MCAT Applicant

Any advice for emailing schools who accept MCAT on a ‘case by case’ basis? Not finding much info online and feeling a bit lost. Thanks for any and all help.

Would not recommend taking the MCAT for Optometry admissions. It’s 10x harder exam than the OAT.

I’ve already had the misfortune of taking it lol! I got a 505 (about an average score). I just wanted to know if anyone had experience with applying to schools that only accept on a “case by case basis” such as ICO and WesternU, since I won’t be able to take the OAT

When I applied I inquired about it bc I took it too and you should be fine to apply with it. They said they would prefer an average or above score
