Does anyone know where to find data on how many successful applicants have research experiences? The AAMC has a bunch of data on how important research is, but I can't find a percent figure.

There's data for this. Matriculating questionnaire says 60%, so a majority but not nearly 90%

AMCAS reports 84% of enrollees (matriculants) have reported research experience on their Primary Application

Hmm so does this mean 15% of people put a primary entry under research/lab that they don't think qualifies as a formal mentored research experience?
I would guess that more likely non-lab experience either clinical, social/public health aspects or research in another field entirely

Although the quality varies. Some people just wash glasswares in a lab for two months and call it research.Anecdotally, I would estimate over 95% of my classmates have research experience.
