Okay, so I currently have completed 60 credits and have a Avg GPA of 3.7. I also recently took the DAT and scored with a AA of 21 and PAT score of 23. I was wondering if I should apply and hopefully get in before i finish my undergraduate? Should I wait and complete 90 credits then apply or should i try to get in early?
 
What year are you in undergrad?
 
I would get your bachelors first. It is possible to get in without it, but many schools prefer you have one before attending.

So will waiting increase my chances of getting into a good school? And I will be entering my junior year.
 
I mean, there's no harm in trying! Might as well.
 
If you have money and everything's ready, might as well. You may get in you may not, but at least you will get a better understanding of how the application cycle works, plus you'll have some shot at it.
 
Do your research before you apply and see if the schools you're applying to accept applicants on the condition they receive a bachelor's degree before entering dental school. So if you're attempting to leave a year early, make sure that the schools are okay with that, or overload in classes and attempt to graduate with your degree a year early to wipe away that possible predicament.
