Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to SDN but I wanted to see if anyone could possibly tell me what they think about my chances of getting into dental school.

oGPA: 3.5 sGPA: ~3.3 (this is what I'm worried about)

70 hours shadowing (not sure if this is enough either)

lots of extra curriculars and volunteering

DAT:
AA: 21
PAT: 23
QR: 19
RC: 26
Bio: 21
GC: 20
OC: 18
TS: 20

I'm hoping to get into my state school. The average oGPA and sGPA is 3.6
The average DAT score for a matriculant is 20 and the average PAT score is 19.

I didn't know if my slightly above average DAT would balance out my slightly below average GPA.. any opinions would be great!
 
You should be good but definitely apply to a fair number of schools just in case your state school doesn't work out.
