Well I'm applying to 8 currently, and thinking of applying to 8 more. It couldn't hurt to get some chance of getting accepted/interview. Well some people are telling me to wait till I take the DAT to apply to the extra schools, but I still have to pay aadsas the money and the schools, wouldn't that take more time with the processing at aadsas if I wait? I rather just see what's possible for me to get into and get things set now than wait. I'm thinking of applying to uconn, BU, nova, marquette, maryland, Univ of Pacific, creighton, and maybe temple. A good environment, facilities that are up to date, and that I'll get a good clinical exp, I don't care too much on class size or things like that. Do you think those schools are good choices or is there any schools that seem better than those? I just want to get some people's opinion before I put a bunch of money towards all these schools.

your GPA is good enough to get you in any school...so unless you bomb your DAT's, you'll be fine applying to 8. Looking at the list of schools you are applying to this moment, you got a fair number of safety level schools taking your GPA into consideration (for ex, NYU's average GPA is probably 3.2, which is way below what you have). I would even consider applying to more competitive schools like the UC's or schools like Upenn and Columbia
