Well, I'm no adcom, but here are my thoughts:

-Your GPA and your DAT are more or less average for accepted applicants, and from what you shared the rest of your application should be looked upon favorably.

Considering, also, the fact that you are an international applicant, I wouldn't expect an overwhelming amount of interviews. However, hopefully you'll be able to secure a couple and sell yourself if you're invited out.

Best of luck!

I am a Canadian applicant. I have around the same GPA as yours ( a little bit lower) and got an interview from NOVA so far. I have higher DAT scores than yours (AA 20) plus lots of hours of research and shadowing. One big flag on your application is gonna be that RC score. Its just too low.
