hi, everyone...
what are my chances for dental school?
i have low gpa, 3.3 overall and 2.9 for science.
i took dat twice, and the recent one i got 21(aa)22(science)22(pat).
i have one and half year research experience and plenty of volunteering experiences.
i am really discouraged becuz of my low gpa....
would it be foolish thing to wait for interview indefinately?
or should i retake the dat again since i dont have anything to do for my gpa (honestly i dont think i can get higher score than that of the recent one...)

i really need you guys' help!!!

thank you in advance~~

your DAT is fine, leave it alone, take more science classes......you say you can't but i suggest finding a way to do so.....a semester or two of upper level sciences and an early application and you're good to go.
