For anyone interested, PTCAS recently released their data report for the 2012-13 application cycle. Go to the this page, then click "PTCAS Applicant Data Report" for the pdf. Interesting stuff!

EDIT: For whatever reason, the link doesn't seem to be working, but it works if you go directly to the PTCAS website.

i find it interesting that the average for the number of applicants per school and number of qualified applicants were only 425 and 284, respectively...I expected the numbers would've been at least doubled lol
