Hey everyone. Just wanted an opinion on my chances applying a year early to dental school. My gpa is a 3.8 and my DAT is 20/20/19. I have loads of volunteer and clinical experience(i worked as a dental assistant for 2 years). Thanks for the input.

I think your chances are great. You might as well apply and see what happens!
Welcome to SDN! Oh, and I would still get your application out early. As others have mentioned, you are golden and will be able to pick between programs (granted you're not a total fry and bomb the interviews). Best of luck!
not to rain on the mood, but just a reminder not to get overconfident and apply to only a few schools! I have stats a lot like yours, applied may 19, and only got into 3 of the 4 places I applied. And I was lucky to get into the third one, as I was one of the last people chosen. I do not think i completely bombed the interviews, though they probably weren't the strongest part of the application. Anyways good luck and you have a great chance just remember you never can tell with dental schools and make sure to apply to at least 5+.
