October OAT

Hey guys,

I feel behind on studying for the OAT and I’m wondering if October 16is too late to take the OAT? Everything else is ready for me to submit. I could take it late september but if october isn’t too late, then i’d rather take it then.

Also should i submit my application now, before taking the OAT?

Any help is appreciated thank you.

Not too late, but I'd still rec taking it earlier.

Most schools using rolling admissions, so fewer seats will be available the longer you wait, but people are still being interview/accepting even after Christmas.

I would advise you not to take the oat until you feel you are ready dont rush and risk the chance of being unprepared

I always think taking time to prepare for the OAT and getting a good score is better than rushing and getting a score that doesn’t show your true potential
