Your list is a little top heavy, not saying you wont get into UCLA or some of the other super competitive schools on your list, but to be safe I would add some private schools. I had the exact same GPA and a 21 on the DAT and got interviews at Indiana, AT STILL, MWUAZ, MWUIL, Western, and UNE. I would look at some private schools and see if any of them would be schools that you would like to attend. Good luck!!
