I just wanted to start a thread too see if someone(s) could post the approximate rates of acceptance for those with an interview. Thanks and I'm sure this will help all of us who are sweating bullets. God I can't wait till this whole damn thing is over.
 
i know its 0% without an interview..........................You have to get the current US news for the updated info
 
Check medschoolready.com 's section on schools. It has that info.
 
Okay - here is a sampling from US News:
Since I can't figure out how to paste my excel file....Numbers go like this:
(Applications In State/OOS; Interviewed In State/OOS; Accepted In State/OOS; Enrolled In State/OOS)

School
PCOM - 553/3272; 309/259; 237/177; 161/105
UNECOM - 52/2396; 37/269; 33/188; 28/93
CCOM - 239/1406; 154/365; 115/267; 71/103
NJCOM - 373/2028; 115/170; 78/112; 100/0
NYCOM - 660/2637; 367/353; 286/254; 198/112
DMU COM - 160/2227; 111/468; 93/353; 59/156
LECOM - PA - 469/3782; 297/888; 174/345; 123/266

shoot the messenger? thats good news! i THINK i did the calc's right, and if so heres the breakdown by school (% accepted after interview)

PCOM: ~73% *PCOM interviews about 15% of its applicants
UNECOM: ~72% *UNECOM interviews about 13% of its applicants
CCOM: ~74% *CCOM interviews about 32% of its applicants
NJCOM: ~67% *NJCOM interviews about 12% of its applicants
NYCOM: ~75% *NYCOM interviews about 22% of its applicants
DMUCOM: ~77% *DMUCOM interviews about 24% of its applicants
LECOM: ~44% *LECOM interviews about 28% of its applicants

LECOM interviews and then you still have less than a 50/50 chance of getting in.

NJCOM interviews the least amount by percentage of its applicants.

Didn't/doesn't the school in West Virginia have a policy of automatic acceptance without an interview if you meet certain GPA and MCAT requirements?

I think MSUCOM has started the same policy, but I'm not sure what the requirements are.

From my Western U interview, approximately 25% are interviewed out of the applicant pool and 67% are accepted ultimately. ~50% of the incoming class is from California. Hope this helps.
 
just thought i'd add this......numbers came from the OSU-COM website.

Acceptance Profile
Total Students Accepted: 88 (100%)
Oklahoma: 76 (86%)
Non-Resident: 12 (14%)

Interview Profile
Total Interviews Granted: 199
Oklahoma: 151
Non-Resident: 48

That leaves ~50% in-state and 25% OOS
 
Is it true that 0 out of state aplicants went to UMDNJ-SOM. Is this a typo?

Yes I think that is a typo along with 100 out of 78 in staters went? I guess you could factor in the wait list.

No, all you need to be considered in-state for UMDNJ is a lease in your name a and a NJ driver's license. EVERYBODY becomes a NJ resident for this reason. However, there are no other states that make it this easy.

Please don't ever call them OD schools. That is an optometry degree.:laugh:
I'm just kidding but seriously if you ever interview and call them OD schools or mention that you shadowed an OD I don't think it will get you far with the DO's......😉

Those percentages are high in comparison to some MD schools. Some schools interview a few thousand applicants out of a pool of tens of thousands...now that is scary!

The premed myth that DO schools are "easier" to get in to makes a lot of people think that. The general theory is something like, "less applicants therefore less competition" or something, I dunno.

that's not what i meant. its just that w/a smaller applicant pool, you'd naturally expect a higher % would be interviewed, esp since DO schools emphasize the whole person, not just #s. that's all i was saying.

Sorry I wasn't meaning that was YOU - I was just saying it seems to be the general premed belief.

This is what I get for trying to multitask! I really thought I could pull off studying while watching tv and posting on SDN..Alas I failed well except for the exam in which I got a 96 on 🙂
Cheers

*bump* Could someone update this list with other schools? Thanks!

i actually looked at it at border's the other day. is it possible that the online version has more info? because i couldn't find it.
 
Does anyone have the rate of acceptance numbers for TCOM?
 
Do you have a better chance of acceptance if you are in the very first group of interviewees?

There are two schools of thought on that matter.

1) Yes. The maximum amount of seats in the class are available at that time, so you have the "best" odds on getting one of those seats. This also depends on when the adcoms meet. If it's every other week, you may be pooled in with the 2nd or even 3rd/4th interview session.

2) No. Schools may not be as grab happy knowing that there are tons of other applicants out there, so they would be less likely to hand out acceptances but perhaps more waitlists/holds/deferrals.

Hope this helps. My best advice is to be yourself, no matter when your interview is. Most schools screen for interviewees, so each of them is qualified academically. It is at the interview that your personality, passion, and individuality must be presented and thus evaluated by the interviewers/adcoms.
