Matriculant...applicants just applied. matriculants applied, got in, and at least started.

I get the feeling OP meant accepted instead of applicant

I mean when looking at the averages on this page (https://www.aamc.org/download/321494/data/factstablea16.pdf), do you compare to applicants or matriculants?

Anybody can apply to medical school... you’d want to look at what it takes to actually get in.

I look at the “Matriculated” to see if my stats will actually match up with theirs (like if I actually have a shot) and I look at “accepted” to see how much the school overestimates their competitiveness (when the accepted stats are way higher than matriculation stats)
