Imrep said the numbers as far as I've heard, so I've nothing to add there. But in terms of choosing a program I can offer my opinion:
I think that regardless of how successful someone is this year, the program has been absolutely terrific. I've enjoyed the classes, most of the people in the program are really good people and quite friendly, and the SMP course directors including Ms. Cabiness are GREAT. I would highly recommend the program. I didn't look at EVMS or any other programs last year, I just applied to Georgetown and got in early and held that as a backup plan.
My experience though is that I was a third time medical school applicant this year with quite a few interviews in the prior two years (6 first time, 4 second time) and ended up on waitlists at all 10 of those interviews. Yes, it sucked big time to always feel like you were so close yet so far away.
This year I had 6 interviews and ended up accepted at 3 so far and 3 waitlists (2 of which are high priority or top tier waitlists). I didn't change anything about how I handled interviews except for one small feature. I owned up to the fact that I wasn't "all I could be" in college. I admitted to being immature and not working hard enough. But when you couple that to incredibly hard work in a SMP program with performance to prove it, you can show the committees quantitatively how capable you are and how you have matured and are now committed and ready to be a hard working med student.
I actually think the one benefit to the Georgetown program above and beyond everything is that I've worked my tail off but I've also had FUN. I go out one night a week (sometimes more though not near test times), and I manage to go to lunch with people, go running, go to movies, etc all the time. I didn't have to turn into a cyborg to get straight A's in the program. Now some people do turn into a library "Dahlgren Library" maniac, but ultimately I'm not sure if they need to do that to do well. As long as you take your studying seriously, make sure you do some every single day, and take the time to enjoy life a bit you'll do really well. To me being in a fun area (DC), at a great school (Georgetown), at a program that countless physicians have gone through (Georgetown), and having the ability to make some great friends whom I will undoubtably stay in contact for the rest of my life and career as a physician was what sets Georgetown at the top for me.
From what I've heard if you want to go to EVMS for med school choose that program as they admit a very high percentage of themselves. If you want to go to Georgetown or another school choose the Georgetown program.
