I'm sure the lion's share of dental students at NYU didn't go to undergrad there and the fact that you didn't won't have an adverse effect on your chances.

You would think they wouldn't check but when I was graduating from undergrad part 1, I got a letter from Richmond saying something like, "We're dissapointed that you didn't choose us for your undergraduate studies but would really like it if you would consider applying to the U of R Law School... yadda yadda yadda..." I was pretty shocked that they had looked me up -- because it came to my school mailbox!

But no. Even if they know every little detail about your life, they're more likely to fault you for using the wrong brand of underarm deoderant than for choosing another undergrad school.
