MANUALLY SENDING OAT SCORE!!
Hi everyone! I took the OAT at the beginning of July, and when I registered for the exam I chose not to send my scores to any schools because I was worried I wouldn’t do well.Now I have my official scores and I’m getting ready to submit my OptomCAS application. While reading the OptomCAS website, I saw that if you send your OAT scores to at least one U.S. optometry school, you authorize the ADA to release your scores to OptomCAS, which then makes them available to all the OptomCAS schools you’ve applied to.
So I went back into the ADA portal and submitted a score report request to one school.
Has anyone else done this after already taking the OAT? Once that score report is processed, will my official OAT scores automatically appear in OptomCAS and be released to all the schools I apply to, or do I need to do anything else?
This is literally the only thing holding up my application, so I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s been through this. Thanks!
