Hi community of SDN,

As the upcoming cycle for dental schools is coming up, I'm becoming more anxious and stressed about applying this cycle. My sGPA is 3.1 and overall 3.12, but my DAT scores are 22AA 22TS 26RC 22BIO 22GC 23OC 19PAT 18QR.

I received good letters of recommendations from several professors and a dentist, and also have a lot of work experience and volunteering. With that said, how do my chances at getting accepted to any dental school look?
I'm applying to at least 15 schools and honestly I'd be thrilled to get acceptance into one.

Please let me know what you guys think. Any help is appreciated!
Thank you guys

You have a shot. Does your GPA trend upward? Did you take a full load of classes per term? Did you take honors courses? Did you work? ECs? Volunteering? There is a lot of factors that play into it.
