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 Nebraska
Of the 2 dental programs in Nebraska in our catalog, 1 is rated as giving strong preference to Nebraska residents. None of these programs has admissions figures we have confirmed on the school's own pages yet, so the table shows the in-state rating and verification status only. Each program's profile has more detail.
| Program | In-state preference | Data check |
|---|---|---|
| Creighton University School of Dentistry | None recorded | Checked against the school's own page, August 15, 2026 |
| University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry | Strong | Not yet checked against the school's own page |
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.
