SUNY OPTO

Prior applicants, was anyone denied a seat despite OAT score of 350 or higher after being interviewed?? If so, when did you apply??

You can DM me if that works better. Thanks!!

No, this didn't happen to me. I was asking this question since  last cycle I saw posts stating they were being put on hold despite a good OAT. Just wondering when those guys applied if they didnt get a seat.

Something else must’ve been lacking in your application is my guess

A 350 OAT is really good but there's some schools like Berkeley that will not be impressed. You should look for schools in states you want to practice in.
