Whether to apply or no?

My cGPA from my university is a 3.32. I received an F in one class (I was a young, nieve sophmore), retook it, and got a B. Because the AADSAS uses everything, this will bring my cGPA down to a 3.28. Also, my sGPA is probably slightly below a 3.0 If I score average to above average on the DAT, do I stand a chance, or should I hold off this cycle and take a few extra classes starting this fall?

ofc u stand a chance.... but odds are against you. sGPA is a very important piece, sub 3.0 puts you at a major disadvantage.

IMO, you should do another year of fulltime post-bacc. Get that sGPA higher.

I plan to do so. I should also mention that I started studying for the DAT last month and plan on taking it in August (hopefully early, but probably mid to late) which is already putting me at a huge disadvantage. My schools pre-professional committee also doesnt interview until August, but I can probably get myself one before August.

I would wait until next year so that you have time to make your GPA a little more competitive. You can't really bank on what you might get on the DAT. Also, applying in August is somewhat late, so that adds another disadvantage.
