I would say your the "average applicant"...def expect some interviews

Your DAT scores are historically average for dental school matriculants while your GPA is slightly below average when compared to last year's numbers.

If I were you I would re-take the DAT if it was at all possible and try to get 20s across the board. A high DAT score might help adcom's overlook your less than average GPA and look at your application as a whole. I'm afraid that some schools throw applications away if the applicants do not meet certain GPAs and DAT scores. It is unfortunate but it is a fact and I'm worried that it might happen to you if your DAT scores don't help you stand out and allow the adcom's to notice your excellent extra-curriculars.

Hope this helps.
