does this info exist anywhere? i've been scouring sdn and have been unable to find it.

if anyone has any second-hand knowledge they've heard or a link, it'd be much appreciated!! thanks.

usnews has this information for premium users. u can check each individual school for # of applicants interviewed, and then # of applicants accepted, to determine the rate. can u screen all schools on the basis of this specific metric using a simple tool that then lists schools with >60% acceptance rate? no. but, as i said, you can look up these stats for each individual school of interest and determine, individually, which schools might match this particular criterion of interest

Some schools will actually have interviews/acceptances on their website. It would be a really neat project if some SDNers got together and tried to compile as much info as was freely available. However, many schools only show the number of matriculants instead of accepted interviewees, which is less helpful.

 

[pyrrion89]

Creighton and USC. This list is not exhaustive. Get usnwr premium

 

[Lya]

Stony Brook as well. ~60%

 

[Amba]

Northwestern ~70%

 

[darkjedi]

Jefferson is about 70%

 

[Cambover]

Rush is up there as well. I'm traveling now so I can't pull up my spreadsheet for the exact stats.

I did that for a lot of MSTP programs and posted it in that forum. I have the MD-only version for the schools I applied to. I could post that, but it would need some work (addition of 80 or so schools). There is a spreadsheet that you can plug your stats into too.

EDIT: I just realized that all stats from MSAR or USNews would be unusable due to propriety rights...

just curious...how in the world does MSAR or USNews get these stats? do schools openly disclose their admissions info and stuff?

It is usually self reported

 

[circulus vitios]

Rush, U Louisville, U Toledo, Drexel, Temple, Eastern Virginia, and MCW all meet that criteria.

 

[clothcut]

thanks for all the info, guys! ugh, i'm wondering if it'd be worth it to shell out the $30 for the premium usnwr now for the schools i interviewed/will be [hopefully] interviewing at. i have access to msar but that doesn't really give this particular statistic.

In the grand scheme of things, its a pretty small price. That said, I never purchased it as the numbers it offered didn't really offer any added benefit or peace of mind.

 

[ChemEngMD]

Someone said in a thread from last cycle that Brown had a ~75% acceptance rate for interviewees.

 

[CarlosDanger]

Also depends on whether you're IS/OOS - OOS in my experience usually has a lower acceptance rate - at least from what my US News subscription tells me.

 

[Hipocrates]

If you get an interview with Brown, you are almost guaranteed to get an acceptance based on most recent USNWR stats:

Of total applicants who got interviews, 76% were accepted.

Of in-state applicants who got interviews, 88% were accepted.

Of out-of-state applicants who got interviewed, 76% were accepted.

 

[Pandaeac]

I think tulane is about 75 or 80 percent

 

[osprey099]

I think tulane is about 75 or 80 percent

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get this info? USNWR premium doesn't publish data for unranked schools so I wasn't able to find any numbers on Tulane.

It was on the tulane thread, not sure how accurate, but really hoping it is hah

 

[bauhinia123]

Miami. According to the presentation given on interview day, they invite about ~500-600 applicants and hand out acceptances to about 300 interviewees. It is a relief to know that the school isn't giving you false hope (i.e. by inviting a large proportion of applicants to interview and only accepting 10-20% of them). This is especially important knowing how expensive and time-consuming the interview process can get.

 

[sazerac]

I think tulane is about 75 or 80 percent

I said in the Tulane thread it is 600 interviews 400 acceptances. Or roughly 66%.

This data is from a couple years ago, but I don't think we have changed much since then. We like our interviewees!

!! That's a higher acceptance rate than even my state school for IS lol. This is very encouraging; thanks for sharing!

 

[1cor1311]

Hoping for that USC 😀

Lol over 10,000 pre-meds (yes, 1 in 4 applicants nationwide) apply for those interview slots. We are the 6%.

Good luck getting an interview at Tulane, or any of the other private schools with no particular in-state preference.

I know Rhode Island is small but that's still crazy there are so few in-staters applying that the total acceptance rate is equal to the out-of-state rate.

Very excited for this school now that I know it's like 75% acceptance rate! In interviewing here next month so maybe the early interview may help even more. (Fingers crossed)

 

[qtpai]

University of Virginia apparently has a 68% acceptance rate, post-interview.

65% for OOS, 79% for IS.

Sorry to be pedantic but this thread isn't fair to those
Of us who paid the $30.00 to access the copyrighted

[calgirl1234]

Northwestern ~70%

I think that's only for IS. OOS is around 50%

Can't tell if serious post, or OP just really good at being sarcastic. 😀

Either way there aren't any quotes to exact figures, who says we can't just be speculating.

Nice try, but this information is not exactly monopolized by USWNR.

Are you the type of person that deletes class notes off shared drives.

 

[smile8888]

Actually no. OOS is as high as 71.6% and IS is 65.5%

I have the USNWR subscription and a lot of these %tages are incorrect, at least to my calculations from USNWR. Also, USNWR doesn't publish data for unranked schools, like Tulane, so those %tages are not a violation of TOS.

 

[GoPelicans]

Vanderbilt is also pretty high AFAIK

No...if anything, you're the one on the wrong side here med student. That being said, I may have misunderstood the point of this thread. If you're simply compiling based on other sources like stuff said at interview days, in pamphlets, via word of mouth then I apologize for my snobbishness and think that such a list is a good idea and doing so will allow the less fortunate access to over-priced information. USNWR definitely doesn't have a monopoly over such data. However, I really doubt that no one in this thread used USWNR as a reference when calculating the percentages they're giving. Ex. Hipocrates' post. What's funny is that threads like this have been posted all over SDN. They've been met with angrier posts than mine and mods have confirmed its a violation of the TOS to post copyrighted data yet here on this thread no one seems to think so...

 

[Redpancreas]

Vandy's probably so high because they have a tough
Pre-secondary screen. My friend with a LizzyM of 72 and interviews
to top 20 schools get rejected pre-secondary here and her app is truly amazing.

I'm just curious,
do you structure your
responses to resemble stairs?

A haiku, perhaps?

Windowsill.

Vanderbilt's cutting its class size from 100 something to 80 something 🙁. But they only interview 500 so the odds are still good despite being a little lower than previous years

 

[mcloaf]

UofM has pretty high acceptance rates for interviewees, especially earlier in the season.

 

[QuantumJ]

Texas A&M accepts about 70% of those that interview.

Many of these statistics, including my won are either adcom publicized or rarely, available online. I also had access to some of these school's rates, and can say that some people have different numbers than what usnews "officially" says.

And whatever, as long as people are vague about where it came from, people should know this information.

M = Maryland or Miami?

 

[Captain Sisko]

He goes to Michigan so I'd assume them...

The only true UofM. 😉
