Im probably over analyzing the admission statistics, but this doesn't make sense to me. As an example, Boston University according to the guide to dental schools does not give a preference to in state students. Yet they offered admission to 27% of their in state students, and only 4.7% of their out of state applicants. And this is the same for allot of the other schools that supposedly do not give preference. Can anyone explain this?
(possibly all of the out of state students that actually enroll at boston are mainly students who could not get into their state schools and so their overall stats are not as high as you would think for being the top 4.7% of the out of state applicant pool, making their stats similar to the top 27% of the in state applicant pool? This is the only thing i can think of)
