I am a Florida resident and I am pursuing a career in dentistry, I completed 2 years in Miami Dade College (i think it is no longer consider a community college) and I am currently studying in FIU (Florida International University) in order to complete my bachelors in Biology.
I have a 3.30 GPA so far and I am going to improve on it A LOT because I was very immature when I got to college and thought I could breeze through it like High-School. I am currently doing a lot of volunteering hours at Baptist Hospital and have like 50 hours but i am going to get as much as i can, I am also with a dentist doing shadowing and taking advices from him. When i do the DAT I plan on getting more than 20 in each section, (i am good with those types of test). I want to get into NOVA Dentistry Program and wanted to get some tips and advices from you guys because every post I read is well answered by this awesome community. Please tell what to improve on and some tactics for aplying and shadowing hours etc.

Thanks and have a nice day.

Improve your GPA, get about 100 hours of shadowing, maybe 200+ volunteer hours, and a 20+ DAT score as far as numbers are concerned. Nova likes applicants with a lot of experience in hard sciences; take as many upper division science classes as you can (it'll also help improve your sGPA).
