So what part of your stats changed from the last time you applied? Your RC and BIO sections are not good, but you can't change that so you have to hope for the best. The rest of your credentials look good.

I would add Roseman and Detroit Mercy to that list.

Roseman has RC cut off at 17, and Detroit would consider 20 on each section as competitive. I'm out of the league.

This year is my fourth time attempt, took the DAT late last year (3rd times).
Got me 2 interviews then 2 waitlisted

AA:19 (18 2nd time)
TS:19
Bio:16 (17 2nd time)
Chem:20
OChem: 21
RC:16 (19 2nd time)
QR:22
PAT:22

sGPA: 3.61
oGPA: 3.68
140+ credits hours with a half from CC
BS in 20010
200+ hours research, 300+ hours volunteer, 300+ hours shadow
It is very stressful when thinking about applying to dental school. Lot of pressure coming from family, friend. Dec 1st became a worst day every year.
I did pretty bad on the DAT, but I hope for the best this cycle.
This is the list I would apply after checking the cut-off

Midwestern - Should add both AZ and IL
Western
Nova - Remove them because they're funky with their admission process
Lecom
Maryland
Michigan
Creighton
UNLV
Buffalo - remove them they won't accept a 16 in RC
NYU - remove them they won't accept a 16 in RC
Case
VCU
Marquette - few OOS students accepted here unless you're from the midwest
3 TX schools - Why would you apply to TX schools? There is little to no chance

Please help me on editing the list, as this is my last shot for dental school since I'm 28 married and have 1 kid. Really cannot retake the DAT. I'm losing my confident and my faith, just hope for the best. Any input have lot of meaning to me. Appreciate for your opinion.

If it doesnt work out for dental school you should probably look into other type of medical programs. Your GPA is very solid, but the Bio and RC scores will hurt you a lot plus you can't take the DAT anymore. If this cycle doesn't work out, look into PA programs. I heard they're awesome.
