Sure you do, make sure your application is complete and has been sent. While you wait to hear from schools, get some more experience in the field.

your stats look good, and different schools place different weights on the various parts of the application. you definitely have a good chance at getting into good schools, but getting involved in your community will only boost your application. if you're able to get involved in outreach dental programs to get a little experience, or volunteer at the local food shelf, tutor kids, or any number of things, it will make you even more competitive. it demonstrates your empathy and makes you stand out. dental schools want students with good grades, but also interests and commitment to the community.
it's also fun and SO rewarding!!
