Other schools in your neck of the woods:
Minnesota, unless you think OOS is too expensive, or you fear the cold
Check out the OOS fees for Ohio State and Michigan. I seem to remember OSU granting residency after the first year, & Michigan's OOS seemed pretty reasonable from what I remember.
*Sigh* and Iowa, I guess. But go Gophers 😉

This should be in Pre-Dent for effective results.
Your GPA is good, and your DAT score is average. How is your shadowing/volunteering?

Yeah I love MN, I even worked in the boundary waters last summer. I was told that MN doesn't accept many OOS except to Michigan, Wisconsin, etc. Have you heard this?

Shadowing is 110 Hours (plus working in a dental office) and volunteering is hundreds plus a lot of extra curriculars

Thank you so much for your help!

And what did you mean in Pre-Dent?

That forum is intended for students who have yet to matriculate, so there may be more people who can answer your question.

One of my buddies in my class is from MO. A couple are from CA and IL and MT. I don't think there are any from MI in my class. It is definitely true that a big percentage of the OOS are from WI.
