Pitt? One of my dentist in our office graduated from Pitt's she said it's a good school, so i included that too. She's a really good dentist. I'm not familiar with the other 3 schools you are choosing from.

I mistakenly applied to UMKC last year. After already sending in secondary fees, I called them to see where they were in the cycle. The guy asked me what state I'm from and then he flat out told me I won't be getting an interview invite. So apparently they give preferences to Missouri residents first, then Kansas, Arkansas, Hawaii and New Mexico.

Out of curiosity, why do they give preferences to those states especially Hawaii and New Mexico? Sounds odd to me...

Some unofficial pact they have with these states I believe

They don't have a dental school. Probably some agreement like WICHE but not that extreme?

Indiana and Pitt accept more out of state than the other two, and maybe you'll be taken more seriously at Indiana because you're from the midwest? And definitely check out Dr. Reo's schools

Never heard of WICHE...

The Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education is a regional organization created by the Western Regional Education Compact, adopted in the 1950s by Western states. WICHE was created to facilitate resource sharing among the higher education systems of the West.


Fifteen western states comprise WICHE:

1. New Mexico
2. Montana
3. Arizona
4. Utah
5. Oregon
6. Colorado
7. Wyoming
8. Idaho
9. Alaska
10. Washington
11. California
12. Nevada
13. Hawaii
14. North Dakota
15. South Dakota


(From UW)

The School of Dentistry is a state supported institution and participates in the student exchange program provided by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) which supports students from western states without dental schools (Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming).

Certain states have other types of WICHE-like pacts with other states. University of Minnesota has seats reserved for Wisconsin residents I believe, that's just an example.

I don't think (not 100% sure) they have seats for WI residents but I KNOW they do for North Dakotans.
