Depends on 4 or 6
I’d say if 6 year:
80-85: 25
85+: 20
4 year I’d add 10 to both numbers

Are four year programs more competitive than 6?

Yes, but 6 year programs require higher minimum test scores
What makes 4 years more competitive
And how many for us sub-80 and sub-70 smooth-brains 🤗

Many many more people applying the 4 year programs, with many of them being applicants with one or more preliminary years at programs.
2 less years to be in residency, 2 more years to make money.
do 4 year programs prefer applicants with non-cats over dental students with better stats?

Not always. It’s been years since I’ve been in residency and screened/interview applicants.
We always placed the most highest emphasis on academics.
But with the sheer volume of applicants - you will find those with both. Those with good academics and those with a prelim year.
Plenty of dental students with strong stats will match to a 4 year program.
I’m living proof. I got in the first round at my top matched program. It’s all dependent on the individual applicant.
