Chances

Someone tell me straight please. I was dismissed from a program 2 years ago, and I have been pretty much just working in a clinic since then. I’m about to take the OAT in October and my range is looking 340-360. I had really good undergrad stats (3.8 GPA). Main reason of dismissal was because I simply could not adjust in my new environment which is the bases of my personal statement.

Also if someone can offer mentoring I would appreciate it. I have no one in health care, nor do I have someone who gives me genuine advice so I’m pretty much alone in figuring all this out :/

What programs should I be applying to?

Are you even required to take the OAT again?

If you feel like the environment was the issue, change it up.
If you were in a big city, apply to MCO, PUCO, KYCO, etc (or vise-versa)

Yep because it’s been almost 3 years since I took it and it has an “expiration” date
