I know some of these are long shots, but my girlfriend wants to get her MPH and we're trying to match up on as many schools as possible to increase our chances.

Does anyone have any recommendations to add/drop any schools from my list? What are my chances of getting some interviews, I know my PAT is kind of low but I did well on everything else

Oh and I'm an Iowa resident and thanks in advance!

everything looks great. PAT is average, but all other sections are above average. I would not worry

Why not include SUNY Buffalo? People from other SUNY campuses transfer to Buffalo because it offers programs that are not available on other campuses. While you are at it look into Uconn too. I think both Uconn and Buffalo are good for you to pursue DDS/DMD and your girlfriend pursue MPH.

You might want to consider adding Michigan and UNC. Both good dental schools and good SPH's. You should drop UMKC--they only accept out-of-staters from certain states, and Iowa is not one of them. You're just wasting money by applying there. I don't know how competitive your girlfriend's application is, but from my knowledge of dental schools and schools of public health (I graduated from a SPH), the schools from your list that I would keep are: BU, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, and Washington. I'd add Michigan and UNC also. Honestly, I think you're almost guaranteed to get in to Iowa with your stats. If your girlfriend also thinks she'll get in to Iowa, I wouldn't apply to nearly as many schools as you have listed. You'll save a ton of money and get great training.
