3.40 overall GPA, and a 3.04 science GPA. Ohio resident. Strong upward trend from a 2.77, to a 2.99, to a 3.75, to a 3.35, to a 3.85, to a 3.8. DAT of a 21 nothing below a 17, and I'm active in a lot of extracurriculars as well as dental club, and volunteering and shadowing (200+ hours of each). I plan on applying right when the cycle opens on June 1st. My other problem is that i went to one school my first semester, transferred to another school my second semester, then transferred again, and now have been at my current university for 2 years. So i transferred twice my freshman year. I don't know if that looks bad? But id love to hear my chances. I plan on apply to 15+ schools probably as well.

Thanks!

Congrats on a good DAT score. Because your sGPA is a bit low, I think that DAT score should help you gain admission as long as you have a wide range of schools to apply to. You'll definitely want to apply early. I don't foresee it being a problem that you transferred twice. Just make sure you get all the necessary transcripts. Also, make sure you finish off strong because you want to raise your GPA as much as you can to avoid having to do a post back or master's program.

Don’t worry about the transcripts. I had to have 5 sent in and two of them only had one class each on them. Dental schools don’t care as long as all the requirements are met.

everything looks good. your sGPA may be a little low but you can take some science classes to boost it up a between now and application time. also good DAT makes up for it a bit. Continue extracurriculars. Have a solid personal statement.
Apply broadly and early.
