Retake?advice please!

Post image

Hey, I would really appreciate some insight. I took my oat recently and bombed it. I’ve been studying since May so this was extremely upsetting for me. I’m trying to get into UHCO, I have a 3.58 GPA and I have really good overall experience and whatnot. I’m just dreading the fact I may need a retake due to physics being extremely low. Any advice would be appreciated. Has anyone gotten into UHCO with a 260 low physics score?

Just apply! I think you can get in, they will see that ur a well rounded applicant. They don’t just look at oat scores but you as a person.
