Should I add more private schools?

I'm finalizing my list of dental schools before I submit my application. I'm a New Jersey resident who would really like to stay on the east coast (hopefully in NJ). I noticed my list is a bit public school heavy (6 public and 3 private) and I know OOS public schools are generally more competitive. I'm asking 1. With my stats do you think this current list is fine? And 2. Any suggestions of east coast private schools I could add/public schools to remove?

With those stats, I think you're fine either way.

Maybe add Tufts and NYU if you wish to have more of safety net but should get interviews/acceptances no problem.
