Scared.

So...
I have everything submitted and mailed out. I am in the process of finishing all of the supplemental apps that I have received so far. As I am doing this, I am scared about my application and the strength of everything in it. Here is a basic rundown of everything:
oGPA: 3.37
sGPA: 3.27
bcpGPA: 3.19
nsGPA: 3.68
I am a biomedical science major, with a Spanish minor.
DAT- AA-19 TS- 18 PAT- 25 (B- 18 GC- 17 OC- 18 RC- 21 QR- 21)
I have done a lot of different service, and have a large amount of shadowing hours. I have spent time in Peru volunteering with an organization of doctors and dentists doing work in the Andes mountains (2 separate 10 day periods).

Although I have invested countless hours into this, I still feel unsure about the strength of my application. I am hoping to get into school this cycle, but what are my real chances?? No need to sugar coat it as I would rather people just be blunt with me. Also, if I wont be a good application this cycle, what should I focus on for next year??

You have a shot, but your GPA and DAT are slightly below average. I would suggest applying to a lot of private schools. You'll need to raise your GPA and retake the DAT with a 20+ to improve your chances next cycle if you don't get in this time.

You need to practice your interview questions.

Questioning your position will not do you any good. Do you really want to spend the next several months worrying? Your stats are fine and each school is different. The best thing you can do for yourself is to continue with your apps and keep your head up!

You'll get a shot somewhere this year.

Thanks for your advice. I have applied to a bunch of private schools and would really like to get into either roseman or Creighton. I based all of the schools that I applied to on their average GPA and DAT scores. I don't want to go into an interview and have my responses sound super rehearsed, so I plan on just going over a few things for that.

That's good. Just be prepared for the hard questions like, "explain why your GPA is a 3.37."

"Because I got some B's along the way."
