So, I was just perusing my "Getting Through Dental School" book provided by ASDA here at UConn. I was flipping through the pages and could not help but notice some pretty shocking numbers (below). What I am wondering is are these acceptance rates per applicant or per application? For example, is this to say that 3520 people applied to an endodontics program and only 205 (5.8%) were accepted OR, is this to say that 3520 applications were submitted and 205 applications were accepted? I am hoping it is the later since it seems that most people just spray and pray with 15+ applications. Any input on this? Thanks in advance! 👍
