Does anyone happen to know an estimate for the acceptance rate of nontraditional applicants? Or is it roughly the same as the acceptance rate as a whole?

It's probably going to be hard to find good data, because the definition of non-traditional can vary a bit. Do you define non-traditional as anyone who doesn't apply directly from undergrad to start medical school without a break in their studies? Because more and more applicants are taking a gap year or two to strengthen their applications before applying. Do you define non-traditional as anyone who had a non-science degree and did a post-bac to pursue medicine? Do you define non-traditional as someone who is a career changer and did something else before applying to medical school?

It is in line with the rates for any given MCAT/GPA combo.

You can hit the MSAR and see ages of matriculants on a school by school basis... safe to assume that the 30-39 matriculants qualify as “nontrad” and likely a lot of the 24-29 range would as well.
