Your GPA is below average while your DAT is average/decent. What schools are on your list? And I'm assuming your state of residence is CO?

Also, how do you know how strong your LoRs are? Were you able to see or read them? Or are you just assuming?

As of now, only CO dental school (state).
Should I retake the DAT?

This is a year old, but this may prove to be a useful resource.

Thanks for the info.
what do you think i should do to improve my chance?
is my EC strong enough to catch adcom attention?

Your ECs are fine. Your GPA is low and you really need to do well like you're planning to do. I'd highly suggest applying to 6+ schools. I would never advise anyone to count on getting into their state school as they are incredibly competitive to get into. It's always good to have options.

Im planing to apply to 15 schools cuz I know my stats are no where competitive.
Do you think it is a good idea to retake the DAT because I am confident that i could do better. I didnt do as well as expected because I got so nervous and shaking for like 20 minutes lol.

What are your scores per section? Any section under 17?

You're going to need a 23+ to offset that GPA and even that might not be enough. For now, just focus on raising your GPA.

Your gpa is on the lower side and the rest of your stats seem to be average. For best results, apply early and broadly. Having a good personal statement wouldn't hurt either.
