I think you need a really good DAT score to have a shot, you have a lot of C's in your prerequisites, and your GPA is below average for accepted students at, I would say, all dental schools, so you need a really good test score to stand out.
 
I agree with the above statement, the DAT is really important in your case. It's nice that you have alot of upper division biology classes under your belt. Maybe you should consider doing a post-bac program?
 
Thanks guys for the replies. i might just take extra upper division courses in science to raise my sgpa. got another year to go.. whats the average dat score?
