GPA figures are labeled median or mean when the school's own published class profile confirms them, and “unconfirmed” when it has not yet been checked — the school's page cites the source. In-state preference tags are NextGen MedPrep's rating, not school policy, unless marked “published policy”.
Residents vs out-of-state applicants in Indiana
Indiana University School of Dentistry, the one dental program in Indiana in our catalog, is rated as giving strong preference to Indiana residents.

|---|---|---|
| Indiana University School of Dentistry | Strong | Checked against the school's own page, August 15, 2026 |
The in-state preference column is NextGen MedPrep's rating from each school's matriculation pattern and admissions guidance, not a school policy, except where a row says “published policy”. A dash means the school has not published that figure in a form we could confirm. Sources for every confirmed figure are linked on the program's profile.
