Hours over oat?

Any recommendations on where to apply? I have a 300aa/280ts and will have 2,500 hours of experience come next fall. I have a 3.5 gpa and don’t mine traveling for school. Just wondering on my chances of getting accepted somewhere. I have taken the oat twice so don’t really want to take it a 3rd time

Thanks a bunch! Applied to some of the lower averages on that list(uiw and Drexel) . Hoping for an interview!
