so your masters is complete?
what did your advisors in the program tell you about your school list/chances?
does your masters program have any linkages with dental schools?
 
Im in my last semester of my masters. Graduating end of june. Masters program has guaranteed interview with Boston and advisor told me they are working with other dental schools as well.

Since I am a Canadian, I chose accordingly. Canadian-friendly dental schools and specifically where I actually see myself going. What do my chances look like?

well, i would prefer you to have a much longer list because of your DAT and the yield on canadians is not high
but i would defer to your advisors in your program at barry, they have much more knowledge/experience with people in your situation than i do...
