In response to this.

Take a look to the questions about configuring the OOM killer. For
example: https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/153585/21101

I am looking for what process would be killed first in the case of low memory.

Is there a way to see the OOM score for every process instead of each individually?

At its simplest, you could just do

cat /proc/*/oom_score

If you want more information - such as the PIDs and command string as well - then maybe a simple loop like

while read -r pid comm; do 

  printf '%d	%d	%s

' "$pid" "$(cat /proc/$pid/oom_score)" "$comm"

done < <(ps -e -o pid= -o comm=)
