Need guidance with what to do

Hello everyone, I'm writing this for my wife. She is in a predicament. She is currently on the waitlist for her state school, and she recently reached out to them asking on how to improve her application assuming she will have to reapply, and they basically told her she had a good app and there was simply no space in the class for this year. So we wanted to share highlights of her app here incase any successful reapplicants have any guidance:

DAT: 430 AA, 430 TS, 410 PAT

GPA: 3.39

sGPA: 3.33

ECs: Co-founded 2 clubs on campus, on the exec board for dental club, political advocacy, public speaking, lifeguarding and camp counselor job with children for 2 summers, baby sitting, research(50 hours), 100+ shadowing (general & perio), 100+ volunteer

LOR: 3 strong LOR that includes 2 science prof and 1 general dentist

PS: had it checked many times and received feedback that final product was strong and meaningful

Above is what she appllied with last summer. Her GPA should be a little higher and she should have more hours. Also to mention, she had a strong upward trend in her last 2 years by getting mostly As. If anyone can provide any guidance on how she can improve her app for next cycle, that would be very helpful. She is graduating with her BA in biology next month. Thanks!
