Chances of Dental School?

[predenthelp]

Hi guys, new here. So this has been on my mind lately and I haven’t been able to think straight. My overall GPA is 3.32 with all of my undergraduate studies combined. I obtained a 3.29 GPA after 2 years at a community college, a 3.55 GPA at the university i transferred to and, the part that’s been bugging me, a 3.2 GPA in my post-bac. The post-bac program completely dropped my GPA and i feel like it ruined my chances of getting into any dental school in Texas. I haven’t taken my DAT yet, i’m currently studying for it. Im obtaining an HPAC letter (barely qualified but hey), and i plan on becoming a dental assistant after i take my DAT in June. Let’s say i get a 20 on the DAT, do you think i’d still have a chance of getting into any dental school in Texas? I’m kinda freaking out internally. (also i’m a texas resident)

texas schools are extremely competitive
it's difficult to say for sure, especially without a full WAMC template, but my guess would be it's going to take more than 20...
