" DAT score (include AA and all sections) "

State of residence is still important for schools that have regional preferences and the school might even have agreements with your state.

School list?

Committee letter w/ who in it?

 

[ilovebananabread000]

Updated it. Committee usually has people in various specialities. I had an orthodontist, general dentist, bio professor, neuro bio professor, and a classics professor in mine.

[Hi Just Lurking]

I have no idea what is considered a late submission this cycle, so I won't really comment on it.

Shadowing hours: it's usually recommended to have 100. Maybe you talked about your shadowing being interrupted during your COVID essay
EC: These look decent making you look well rounded, which I think is a plus

DAT is decent. I guess your TS is a 21?

Your GPA and DAT are above the average applicant accepted to DS.
You also applied to a lot of private schools, which is smart considering your situation.
Overall, I think you have a good shot as long as you interview well.

Latin > Greek

Just kidding. Good Luck!
