So, anyone in a similar situation? I have pretty average DAT scores (19/20/18) and a 3.4 gpa. Should I be worried? I keep telling myself that these schools will take until spring to fill their classes and not to worry, but what do you guys think? Give it to me straight.

I have similar stats (A little bit higher GPA) and I've had 2 interviews and 4 rejections. I haven't heard from several schools so I wouldn't sweat it. I'm not sweating yet. Although I probably will if I get rejected from the 2 schools where I had interviews.
I have a 3.4gpa 19/19/21 DAT and 2 interviews (1 pre Dec. 1st), 2 rejections, and still am waiting to hear on five others. Don't worry you're not the only one. Oh, did I mention this is my third year applying and I have been wait listed two years running? Keep the faith, something good is bound to happen.
My stats are similar (a little lower) with 2 rejections and no interviews. The best I've heard is On Hold for Comparison or Re-review. It's still a little early in the game. After all these high-stat applicants get accepted, the scraps will be left for us. I'm not saying I'm always this positive but it helps keep me sane.
Are these the stats you've applied w/ all 3 years so far? Cuz if thats the case and you've been rejected 2 straight years i'm freaked cuz i have similiar stats as well (18/19/22 3.47 GPA). I think your persistance will pay off for you this year

Yeah but you've had interviews, right? If so, you're sittin pretty.
I completely agree.
I graduated, have worked for a year, and retook the DAT. I like my chances this year. Good luck
I've had some...but i think it might just be because I applied early cuz all the people i ahve been at interviews w/ have been in the 20+ range and here i am sittin w/ my 18 haha...who knows, i think we're all perfectly qualified and we all deserve an acceptance...i'm starting my own dental school and you're all accepted..the letters are in the mail
I applied to Tufts January 15th last cycle and interviewed 2-3 weeks later and got wait listed. I think their application cycle runs late, and their facilities are great.
