Absolutely put your job as a tutor on your application. This shows the most key ability of all for surviving dental school - Time management. Being able to work while in school is a great thing to have on your application and something that came up in all my interviews.

I don't know much about the west coast schools so GL - Personally if you have Penn on your list and are considering Philadelphia I can't complain about much at Temple my experience has been good. We serve a community that really needs us and there is the opportunity to focus on any area we are interested in.

is there a reason to take those two off? I picked them bc I thought they were OOS friendly

Your application seems solid. You may want to apply to more schools that take some out of state and allow switching to in-state tuition after a year like SUNY Buffalo or Maryland (I think, do some research). Roseman and Boston and probably some others there are excessively expensive.
