I am almost ready to submit my application for this cycle. I am having some concerns about my schools list. I am thinking of trimming my list down to 6 schools.

Current list:
Marquette
Iowa
Colorado
Louisville
Detroit Mercy
Pitt
Penn
Harvard

I am a Wisconsin resident, GPA: 3.89, DAT AA:27.

Is it worth it to apply to 8 schools? I am thinking of eliminating Pitt and UDM, or Penn and UDM.

Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.
 
As long as you don’t interview badly or the people interviewing don’t like you, you’ll be fine.

I met one person similar to your stats who was a reapplicant.
 
Just apply to the places where you would attend if it were the only place that accepted you. In other words, if there is a school that is what you hope would be a "safety school", then get rid of it. The concept of a safety school doesn't exist when it comes to dental school.
