So I am a junior and will be applying this summer and also taking the DAT this summer, here is my resume(from freshman year to first semester junior year):

Both GPA's won't change much after this semester, both will stay above 3.7.
cGPA:3.71
sGPA:3.72
100 Hours Shadowing/Volunteering at a free dental clinic
20 Hours shadowing a general dentist
10 hours shadowing a orthodontist
100 hours volunteering at a homeless shelter
150 hours volunteering at a humane society

Is there anything I need improve/add? I mean there will be a few more hours added to the volunteering but not a huge amount.
 
If that 100 hours at the dental clinic counts as shadowing, you're fine with shadowing and vounteering. I'd suggest getting involved in some EC's at your school (leadership positions if possible). Do that plus + get ~20 on the DAT and you're golden.
 
I forgot to mention I've been a member of my pre dental club for all 3 years.

Also, what do you guys think of the volunteering hours at a humane society? Does it look like to dental schools that I would rather be a vet(which I have no interest in)? Does it not really count since it's not helping people?
 
I know a certain someone this cycle who works at a veterinary hospital. He got into every top school you can list and then some. 😉
