Hello guys! I was just wondering what my chances of getting in are.

So here is my background: I am currently a sophomore and I am majoring in Biology. I won't apply to dental school until next year.
Science GPA: 3.78
Overall GPA: 3.84

DAT scores
PA 18
QR 17
RC 21
Bio 23
GC 26
OC 23
TS 23
AA 22

I have over 200 hours in shadowing, over 200 hours volunteering. I was also treasurer of my service fraternity. I am also currently house manager for my sorority and am also in a few other organizations. I also am a dental assistant.
 
I can't tell if this is a joke...your stats are above average. Does that really warrant this question?
 
Yeah. Even though I have good stats, anything could happen. I feel like after the DAT, I don't wanna let my guard down thinking the score is just a pre-acceptance into dental school. To be honest, I am still scared I won't get into dental school. I've heard people with good stats, EC's, and other stuff don't get in.

Unless you completely bomb the interviews there is no reason why you wouldn't get in. You've got the hard part over with. You've got hundreds of hours shadowing, volunteering, solid ECs with leadership experience and are a DA. The most challenging part left is collecting LORs and selecting the schools you want to attend.
