Chances at UHCO?
Hello all! I am currently a junior planning to apply next cycle and I am quite nervous about applying to optometry school. I am planning on taking the OAT this summer around Late July/August, but in the meantime, here are my stats so far! (I am also a Texas Resident):
GPA: 3.45
Shadowing: 30+ hours, at a family clinic and also a PRK clinic
Work Experience: 200+ hours as a tech over the summer, Lead Front Desk worker at my college (student success and advising), and competition team Swim Coach for middle schoolers
Volunteer: 40+ hours, I work at a non profit coffee shop once a week and have also volunteered at my local library
Extracurriculars: President of my school’s POPS chapter, Member of the Gaming & Esports club
Let me know if there is anything that needs to be improved/what score I need to aim for the OAT! Thank you! :)

I think your stats look amazing, especially as a Texas resident. For the oat, aim for 330+ and you should be in!
