Your scores are great but you have to remember that those schools that u applied to are like top school so although your resume looks great, I would have other schools as a back up.... (those with minimal standards) if there is such... but dont worry. If it make you feel better, I was told I would not get an interview with my scores..... (AA 16) so go figure... but my circumstances as to why I scored low were different and I have a 19 month old girl. I have an interview already. so keep your head up and PRAY!!!! That always works. but be confident in your scores!

mid july, and it was sent to schools on the 29th of july..

You should have gotten an interview from Midwestern already.. might want to give them a call. GPA 3.2~3.3 and DAT ~18, you've more than met their qualifications.
 
Your DAT timing is holding you back.
Many schools would not consider appl until they receive official new DAT scores which could take few weeks as well. So your appl might just be getting ready to review at most schools.
BU, Tufts, Pitt, MWU and possibly Temple are done with pre Dec invites. Post Dec invites will go out somewhere in Nov and Pitt mid Dec.
Your GPA stats are low for UCLA
if you not instate for UNC, forget about it for same reason
it takes 7-8 weeks for review your appl at UOP and NYU so yours might be nowhere near the review time yet...

👍👍👍, My DAT is only a 19, but my GPA is solid and EC's are good. I'm from NC, applied July 2nd, and STILL haven't received an interview from UNC (and have 3 others). They also only offer 4 interview dates, and most OOS were already interviewed.
 
IMO, if you took DAT in Sep 18th, then your wait time has just started because they got your official scores very recently. So just be patient...
