I have been lurking on here for quite some time, but now that I am about to apply to dental school I have decided to make an account and ask the big question: What are my chances??
I have a 4.0 overall gpa and a 4.0 sci gpa. I recently graduated with a double major in physics and chemical engineering. I have about 1000 hours of work experience in a general dentist's office as well as over 200 hours of shadowing at a different general dentist's office. I have also been involved with multiple community service projects accounting for around 300 hours of community service. My last year in school I worked with a professor on a research project and was able to write a senior thesis from this research. I presented the research at a conference and won 1st in student research at the conference. As far as leadership experience I was the President of the engineering honor society at my school. I took the DAT about a month ago and scored a 27 AA, 26 TS, and 24 PAT.
I am a little worried about my chances. What can I do to improve my chances? retake the DAT?

Any advice would be very much appreciated!!!
