I would recommend adding more private schools
your DAT makes up for what some might say are below average grades
as long as you apply widely and wisely, you have a good chance

I think you will get into all of them

I think you have a good shot at all of those schools with your stats. In your gap year I would recommend you continue to expand your dental related experiences by working at a dental office, shadowing, and/or volunteering at a free clinic.

Don't waste money on a master's. Tbh you could probably apply right now this cycle and get in somewhere...
