So I recently took the OAT and ended up with a TS: 270 and AA: 290 with my lowest score being 220 in physics. My individual scores were Bio/GenChem/Orgo/Reading/Physics/QR = 280/320/280/310/220/310. I've been studying for 2-3 months using a combination of coursesaver, kaplan practice tests and the ADA paid practice OAT. My Kaplan practice test scores were noticeably low which I thought was to be expected since they are harder tests but I somehow managed to pull a 340 AA on the paid ADA OAT but found it to be leagues easier than the real deal. I was confident I would at least break 300 due to my practice ADA score so I really didn't expect to score as low as I did but I'd have to wait another 3 months to retake the test & I want to apply early since it is rolling admissions. I've heard it's better for people with lower stats to apply earlier because of this. My goal is to make it into UAB since I went there for undergrad and it would be convenient to stay in the same area but with a score like that I feel that I need to consider other options. I realize I'm going to have to rely very heavily on other aspects of my application now. My overall GPA was a 3.62 which qualified me for graduating Cum Laude from UAB with a Bachelor's of Science in Biology. What are your guys' thoughts on these scores, do you think it is still possible for me to make it into UAB? Does UAB have a minimum OAT score? If not then what other schools do you recommend applying to around this area that may have a higher acceptance rate (Deep South/SouthEast US)?
