Applying to dental school after finishing pharmacy school for fall 2015. Taking DAT this summer. Had 3.5+ overall and science GPA before pharmacy school. Now it's 3.3-3.4 overall and science with undergrad and pharmacy school combined. Lots of volunteer hours. Minimal shadowing done and lots more shadowing scheduled. Didn't do well at ALL on PCAT, so I'm super nervous about taking DAT. Applying to USC, LSU, Alabama. What's my chances of just having the pharmacy degree alone? Any advice is appreciated!!

You're planning to apply to dental school even though you've done minimal shadowing? What if it turns out like pharmacy school? Not to mention that without a DAT score, no one could even give you an accurate representation of your chances.

Minimalone-on-one shadowing, but I've been around dentistry for a while. I'm almost done pharmacy school. Sucks to find out it wasn't for me being so close to a degree. I'm definitely getting my PharmD before I apply since I'm so close to finishing

Ouch, that's a very expensive way to find out that you didn't like pharmacy. Take the DAT and demonstrate that dentistry is in your blood.
I think you have a great chance. Having a PharmD could be a plus.
