Standard Deviations for Admit Stats?

My AADSAS GPA hasn't been calculated yet, but I'm anticipating it to be .1-.2 lower than the average of the schools that I want to go to. My DAT is 2-4 higher than the average, and PAT is 2 higher. So I guess I'm wondering what my chances are, since I'm on the late end of the application process, and more importantly, if anyone has standard deviation statistics.

Edit: After you guys submitted your transcripts, how long did it take for AADSAS to calculate your GPA? And how long after the app was ready to be sent out did dental schools contact you? (The second question is basically asking how long it took AADSAS to mail the entire application) I know they say 4-8 weeks generally, but I was curious what your specific case was.

In general, to be competitive the gpa should be at the mean or +/-0.1 while the AA should be at the mean or +/-1 point for the school of interest. A list of gpa/dat scores for enrollees is not available, however, judging by the distribution of the schools where you will find that they are clustered around the mean within a very narrow range, it is reasonable to expect a similar clustering of the enrollees in spite of the wider range of scores.
