I have thought that because the MCAT is offered more often, more applicants will be applying this cycle and subsequent cycles. I have a suspicion however that some schools will accept more students than they did before. Maybe not significant but a growth of like 5 - 10 students per incoming classes. Also, I suspect that DO acceptance and matriculation will grow this cycle as well. From what I have heard, the new med schools opening up like FIU, UCF, Hofstra, and others will only begin to matriculate enough students to make a difference by the application cycle of 2011 or later because they are only accepting 40 students for their first couple of application cycles.
