Dental school question

So I'm a Biology, Pre-Dental major at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
My GPA is ~3.4 and I don't see it fluctuating much for the next two final years of my undergrad education.
I have volunteer experience and I have a job doing dental research at the University of Texas Health Science Center's dental school.
Say I get the minimum 18 I need on the DAT: What are my chances of getting into dental school?

I'd suggest seeing if there's an admission's counselor or such you can email/call and find out if there are any specific requirements they have which you're lacking (e.g. maybe the minimum GPA is 3.5, or they want a 20 on the DAT or such) - just to make sure there's nothing that's going to torpedo you.
Back when she went, there were some challenges because she wasn't a Texas resident (at the time), but we met w/ one of the professors there who was handling admissions, and he discussed different ways we could get around this. It's often very helpful to talk with someone who's part of their decision making process on admissions to find out what they consider "important" (as opposed to "Yes, we require X, but we don't really care about it, other than as a checklist item").
