Is this a good improvement

I had a very terrible GPA my first semester freshman year. I had 2.4, but now I have 3.23. I'm applying this summer, hopefully after this semester I will end up with 3.29 not sure if I can get it up to 3.3. My science GPA is about the same a little less.
I know applying to Dental schools have many other factors to it not just the GPA, but I just want to know how good is this improvement that I made after my first semester. I feel like it's not as impressive and I should have raised it much higher.
Any thoughts?

It's better than nothing. What is your DAT score?

Upward trend and overall GPA of 3.3 isn't so bad. It's not amazing, but you're just around the average (~3.4.)

No sense worrying about what you can't change - just focus on getting the best grades possible now. If the rest of your application is good, it shouldn't hinder you.
