The program is for anyone interested in a career in medicine.
There were participants who were rising sophomores in college and there were people who were doing masters degrees. I don't think they have a specific age or degree-seeking status in mind for applicants.
I also wanted to mention that there weren't just pre-meds participating. I know there were other participants in my year who were pre-PA and pre-<insert professional school here>.
As far as a % acceptance rate... I'm not really sure. As I said before, there were 24 of us in 2009 and they were talking about perhaps cutting that down by as many as 10 spots. We heard a lot of varying numbers about the applicant pool - somewhere between 280 and like 700 people applied.... yeah I dunno what up with the discrepancy there either.
Feel free to PM with any additional or more specific questions. Good luck to anyone applying in the future - the program is truly incredible.
