All your stats are more than good enough. If anything I would say ramp up your volunteer hours. A lot of school like to see a good amount of community involvement and a lot of applicants will have several hundred hours or more. But that’s if they want to be nitpicky. As your app stands you won’t have any problem scoring interviews and probably won’t have any problem getting accepted. However, a lot of the schools are pretty prestigious and are some of the tougher schools to receive an acceptance so just make sure you are prepared for the interviews. Best of luck and I’m sure you won’t have any problems

Definitely well above average DAT and above average gpa. You have a really good list, texas schools are VERY bias towards texas residents, but with your stats I would apply to TX schools as well. If you get in you will graduate with a very small amount of debt.
