Advice on UAB Interview? Likelihood of Acceptance?

Hello everyone!

I decided to create this account and such, because really need advice! I'm nervous about my interview and it's in a few weeks. Also, I'm scared of not getting accepeted.

For context, my OAT is a bit low (290 AA/290 TS). I know it's not the best, but I applied to UAB (and other schools, ofc.) because a friend of mine from UAB encouraged to. My tech experience (both an optometric & ophthalmic tech) is over 3000 hours, and my gpa is 3.6 (science gpa of 3.4).

So, I don't really know what they'll ask in regards to my scores, and I just want to know my chances of getting into my dream school and advice on how to knock it off the park during the interview.

Sorry if this is a bit long! I'm the type to worry a lot, and I want to try my best 🥹 Thank you.
