Competitive enough?

I was hoping someone could look at my current stats and tell me if you think my stats are competitive enough.

Overall GPA: 3.75
Science GPA: 3.63

By the time I apply, I should have about 130 Shadowing hours, and about 160 Volunteer Hours.
I am a founding father of a fraternity on my campus, and in the fraternity I am on the Standards board, and I am a member of the Philanthropy committee. I am also a member of the Bioengineering club at my school.

I have yet to take my DAT, but I am planning to start studying at the end of March, and take the exam the first or second week of June. If I were to score a 20-22, would my stats be competitive? Thank you!

You would be competitive if you scored a 20-22 yes.

Scoring a 22+ is ideal, but scoring a 20 will still make you a competitive applicant. Keep in mind the average is 20.3 and 3.55 cGPA for the previous incoming class.

I would say a 20 should be ok. Its a crapshoot with dental school admissions. It depends on so many factors. Are you single, married or non-trad etc...

What makes you stand out because that is what will make you wanted. Right now, you sound good like the run if the mill applicant.

Try to make yourself stand out, either through your personal statement or through some unique opportunity you come across.
