I have a 3.1 science GPA and got a 21 on the DAT. I was looking to apply this coming cycle, but I don't know if my stats are good enough. I have my shadowing hours in and think I am pretty well rounded in regards to extracurricular (jobs, volunteering, study abroad). I am doing a masters program this fall in biology as well.

Apply broadly and wisely. Gather a list of schools and get feedback from people. You should aim to apply to around 14 schools.
You're applying this cycle but you're starting a masters program in the fall?
You apply one year, and start in the fall of the next year. OP is applying this cycle (2018-2019), will start a master's program this fall (Fall 2018), and if she gets accepted to a DS, she will start there Fall 2019. Everyone applying this cycle is hoping for a seat entering Fall 2019.
I am also retaking a pre-req class this summer. Should i submit my application after the class is over (beginning of august) or before. And does them not having my grade for the pre-req class or for my masters program impact how they see me as an applicant?
I have similar stats and I have received 3 acceptances so far! I had 8 interviews total and am still waitlisted at 5 schools. I applied to 15 schools total, I think you have a shot for sure! Good Luck!
which schools did you interview at and get acceptances to, if you don't mind sharing?
Sure! I interviewed at UDM, Pitt, MWU-IL, LECOM, Stonybrook, Louisville, Touro, and ASDOH. I was accepted to Pitt, MWU-IL, and LECOM. Attending Pitt in the fall!!
When exactly did you submit your application? June or July?
At the end of July, I think July 27??
Did you have 3.2 sGPA as Pitt requires it? or did you apply with 3.1sGPA?
