I don't know where you'd find such stats, but considering that there are 60 to 100 applicants per spot at each school, and that the minority of people with the better numbers are getting several acceptances while many are getting none, I'd think the average would have to be less than 1 acceptance per applicant. Unless you mean average acceptances per "successful" applicant...
 
The AAMC site has all that info - I forget the actual link. The rough numbers in recent years have worked out to about 33K applicants for 16K spots, I believe. About half of all applicants end up getting accepted.
