Other than your DAT, to see how competitive you are you also need to give out the GPA. If you have a reasonable GPA, around a 3.4, you will probably get in with those scores. But it is best to call the schools and get the professional opinion.

If you have mid-high 3's GPA and extracurriculars (especially dental related ones) then you should get a good amount of interviews. Just apply (ASAP) and try not to worry about it too much...

Make sure you apply to NYU or BU. You should have a pretty good shot at those schools.
