Apply to all the in-states. MidWestern is a yes, Boston U is a yes, Oregon is a yes, UCONN is a yes. Can find the stats online for OOS% acceptance along with DAT and GPA Averages

Thanks! I'm picking based off this list http://predds.net/dental-school-admission-statistics/

I also want to apply to school in NY, but NYU and Columbia are the only ones that accept 50+% OOS. You guys think any one of those on my list is worth swapping out for a NY school? Or have opinions on the NYU schools? I heard NYU is super cut throat. Someone told me that their entering class is extra large because a certain percentage of students get cut from the program if you don't meet their standards.
