I saw someone asking WUSTL post-I acceptance rate and thought if we have a list for all programs that would help everyone greatly. From what I read online 50% Cornell and UPenn, 75% UVA..



Please help with the list:

Tri-Institutional Cornell: 50%
University of Pennsylvania: 50%
University of Virginia: 75%
Washington USTL: 50%

I pulled up my old school stats excel sheet and found a few more programs to add to your list:

Georgetown: 26 interviews and 8 offers of acceptance; 31%.......................(25 and 7 the year before)
Alabama: 48 interviews and 28 offers of acceptance; 58%..........................(last year's percent is a bit high compared to previous years)
Colorado: 68 interviews and 24 offers of acceptance; 35%..........................(website says 75 interviews on average, normally 20-30 offers)
Cornell: 90 interviews, "approximately half" (45) offers of acceptance; 50%

Quite a few schools I have on my list post number of interviews and number of matriculants but don't post total offers of acceptance; we can make some estimates based on yield to extrapolate from number of matriculants to acceptances, but I didn't include them here.


Post-I Acceptance Rate:

Alabama: 58%; 48 interviews, 28 offers of acceptance
Colorado: 35%; 68 interviews, 24 offers of acceptance
Cornell: 50%; 90 interviews, "approximately half" (45) offers of acceptance
Georgetown: 31%; 26 interviews and 8 offers of acceptance
Stony Brook: 42-50%; 60 interviews (low estimate, 20% of 300+ apps), 25-30 offers of acceptance
University of California Irvine: 36%; 70 interviews, 25 offers of acceptance
University of Maryland: 56%; 50 interviews, 28 offers of acceptance
University of Pennsylvania: 50%; 100-120 interviews, 50 offers of acceptance
University of Rochester: 13-29%; 70-80 interviews, 10-20 offers of acceptance
UT Southwestern: 15% (didn't have notes on # interviews, offers of acceptance though)
University of Virginia: 79%; 48 interviews, 38 offers of acceptance
Washington USTL: 45%; 110 interviews, 50 offers of acceptance

Been wondering the same thing! Can add what I know about Iowa. They have an awesome MD/PhD-specific table with admissions stats for the last several years of applications: Frequently Asked Questions | MSTP

UT Southwestern: The 15% is for ALL applicants not post-I acceptance. I will add a note to it for now and hope people have Post-I info will post.

Be careful... programs could be interviewing way more students this year because interviews are now virtual, but obviously still having the same number of seats at the end. You might want to prepare for and accept more interviews this year and expect a lower acceptance rate.

Indeed for some programs, but as a PD, I worry that the converse is more likely true.... Interviewees are applying to more programs, so the yield for programs will likely be less stringent (i.e.: getting lower in their ranking list of interviewees) because there will be more attrition to other programs. Here is the thing, once you reach 6-8 MD/PhD interviews, you are likely (>95%) to have at least 1 MD/PhD acceptance (obviously, if you do the same systematic interview error, it would not). For programs, it is harder to say increase 25% the number of interview slots, but for applicants, without having to travel, it is much easier. The overall pool of applicants might be the same or barely more (~5% more than last year). The pool of available slots in 2020 was the same than in 2019 (703 vs 708). For 2021, I don't expect any significant reductions.

Every program has its own policies on when they start offering ACs, when they start pulling out of the waitlist, etc. In the end, I make absolutely any distinction on the first or last person accepted into my class. Each of them is one of us, and are treated exactly the same. My job is to advocate and mentor each of them to succeed. A big piece that allows you to massage a program's "yield" is all of the WB (withdrawals before acceptance) from the program. If they had stayed in the pool for that given program, they would have received an acceptance. Now, not all of the programs worked that way but I now many who do. Bottom line, ask programs to publish data just as some programs do. You will see the outcome of applications to them; you might quickly realize that your numbers are too low or that they do not offer interviews to any one with say less than 3.50 or 510. The question by @bildb111 is very difficult to answer, and every year is different. A question that you might ask straight up to each program is in the past 3 or 4 cycles, do you take applicants from your waitlist, and if so, when along the cycle. Every year, I do... and I have taken several people from the waitlist in April and until mid-May. Some years, it can be even above 50% (3 or 4 slots) for my target of 7 slots.

Yesterday, we had a B2B seminar and one of my former students who now is a PSTP resident at Harvard told us that he was just offered an Asst. Prof. position there... Another one at Stanford (PSTP resident) also doing well. Once you have the academic benchmarks, is about resilience and grit... testing another hypothesis after being told by reviewers or science that you are wrong. Both of them were resilient, took extra chances. worked hard, but also took care of themselves (wellness). MD/PhD programs are places where you grow as a person and physician-scientist. Choose carefully who will be mentoring you. Talented and supportive program leadership is critical. Outcomes show that...
