I was just wondering (I'm sure it depends on the school) what percentage of applicants to one school are generally offered an interview at that school. I had heard it was generally speaking < 25% but pre-dents says < 15% etc. I can find no substatiated proof of anything. Anyone have any ideas?

I don't know what % might be, but most schools interview 2-3 applicants for 1 spot, but this is only a rough estimate some schools might interview more or less , you would probaly have to call the individual schools to get that information.
 
Completely depends on schools since not all schools get the same # of applicants, especially if they are known not to take out of staters.

At very popular schools, less than 10% or around 10% could get interviews that number could be as high as 25% at schools that are more selective of students based on residency.
