mdapplicants.com... this is weird.

So I'm scanning the schools list on mdapplicants.com and it says some of them accepted really small numbers of people. Northern Ontario granted only 2 interviews and rejected both of them? This makes no sense. What gives?

Woah, also my apologies for making 3 threads with this title. No idea what happened.

having an mdapps profile is not a co-requisite to applying to med school

....only a small minority of applicants have profiles ....the site is anything but reliable nor is it a source of useful information

mdapplicants only works with user-generated data. So only two people who got interviewed at Northern Ontario made mdapplicants accounts, both of whom happened to have been rejected.

Ah, that makes a lot more sense. Sorry I'm such a dummkopf!

My top choice is a DO school so it's not on there 🙁

I'll check the AACOM site and see if they have something analogous.

They don't really. From what I saw when I was looking into applying to a couple DO schools, the big PDF has a few numbers, but the good stuff has really been compiled by people trawling websites by hand. Check the pre-osteo forum and you can find some resources people have posted.
