I have an oGPA of 3.49 and a sGPA of 3.4. On the DAT I have a AA18, TS18, RC19, QR18, and PA21. I have 200+ shadowing and volunteer/leadership hours. I'm applying to UMKC, Creighton, University of Nebraska, and A.T. Still (MO). I should be submitting my application in this coming week. Anyone think I have good chances? Also I am in-state for Missouri.
 
If getting in is the goal (and you don't HAVE to go to one of those schools), I'd definitely be applying to more.

Your GPAs are a little bit below average, and your DAT scores are a little bit below average. However, if you apply broadly enough, I think you'll be fine. If I were in your position, I'd be applying to somewhere around 15 schools.
