Do I have a chance, High DAT lowish GPA

[Ladm8]

Date submitted app: 08/12
Date application verified: 08/16
State of residency: PA
DAT scores- AA: 21 TS:21 BIO: 21 GC: 21 OC: 23 RC:20 PAT:19 QR:19

BCP GPA: 3.19
sGPA: 2.96
oGPA: 3.10 (upwards trending )
additional info: I did a formal Post-Bac program and had a 3.85 GPA

Extra circulars: multiple leadership positions in many orgs/clubs, 400+ hours shadowing/volunteering, committee letter and dentist letter written by professor at a dental school.

I applied to 14 schools and I' thinking of adding more, I know my GPA is on the lower side so what are my chances.

as long as you applied wisely, you have a shot at interviews
some may come next year, but that's the way it goes

Ya, I took mine July 28. But I know someone with better stats than me personally and took it July 28. He never received an interview from Indiana. He also applied a month before me. His GPA and DAT were way better than mine.
