If you have a good sGPA and BCP GPA and have a good upward trend, you should be fine. Also, 3.4 is not that low so couple that with a decent DAT score you should be good to go.
 
Have you considered other career choices, bc with that transcript, dentistry is not in your cards.

Calm down, I had to try to raise my GPA after I decided that I wanted to become a dentist.

Are you sure you want to be a dentist? You also posted this question in the premed forum so first I'd decide what you actually want to pursue and then figure out what to do to be a competitive applicant.

of course he wants to be a dentist....he has 500 hours of shadowing.....
 
How many F's, D's and W's did you actually have? C's honestly don't matter that much since your GPA isn't that bad.

2 Fs, 1 D+, 3 Ws but after that, my grades have been nothing but As

That's really not bad at all and since you had a strong upward trend since then, get 20+ across the board on the DAT and you will have a great shot. Don't listen to the naysayers.

You quoted the wrong person?

OP, you'll need a strong DAT score and a good explanation besides "I didn't think they were important, so I didn't try". You got pretty good answers in the premed post that can also be applied to dental too. No need to retake them if they weren't pre-reqs, but I'd calculate your GPAs carefully because you say you've gotten nothing but As, but that those were all non-science, but your sGPA is 3.5, so do take some time to calculate your GPAs out carefully.
