I went to 2 undergraduate schools so I have a gpa from each school.

ECU (First 2 years, 53 hours) - 3.26 gpa
NCSU (Last 3 Years, 78 hours) - 3.6 gpa
Combined GPA - 3.43
Last 2 years GPA - 3.78
Science GPA (BCPM) - 3.32
BCP GPA - 3.35

BCP and BCPM are more in 3.4-3.5 range if counting (physiology, genetics, biochem, neurobiology, stats)

I took 95% of my science courses at NCSU and made no science grades below a B

DAT Scores

AA - 20
TS - 20
PAT - 21
QR - 18
RC - 21
BIO - 19
GC - 20
OC - 23

I only studied for the DAT for 12 days after I got done with my finals for school so I probably could have done better if I studied longer. Thinking about possibly taking it again.

Dental Shadow Hours- Around 50 hours shadowing a prothstodontist

ECs - Worked in a research lab for a semester, umpired baseball, worked at an animal hospital for 2 years, play guitar and make music.

Volunteer Hours - around 50 hrs helping disabled kids play baseball

LORs - I have many professors and a dentist who are willing to write me a good LOR

What are my chances at admissions?

Based on numbers alone, apply broadly and you should be fine. What is your science GPA?

Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Math courses.
 
Your GPA is slightly under average for admitted students, your DAT is right at average for admitted students. What are your EC's, shadowing hours, volunteer hours like? Will you get good LOR's?

Shadow a general dentist before you apply.
