you should be competitive
stay away from UOP...
 
I would think you'd be in a good position at least for VCU. If you like an HBCU undergraduate experience, you can try Howard's BS/DDS, though if you are a student at the Gov School, that's more a predominantly white high school. I don't quite understand Augusta on your list unless you are from Georgia and want to stay in Georgia.

howard is on OPs list
but you make a good point, BS/DDS programs at public schools may heavily favor IS residents, so OP may want to ask before applying...

I heard good things about the program and their focus on the underserved populations. I also wanted to stay close geographically.
