Where Can We Find Acceptance Rates?

Where can we find acceptance rates/number of people accepted for different medical schools?

And before everyone yells at me, I checked the MSAR already, and it only shows the number of people that matriculate, not the number of people that are accepted (which is always higher than the number of people who matriculate due to yield).

That only shows the 10 lowest acceptance rates. What about all the other schools?

Weak. We have to pay for that too

Why? Schools don't want that information out in the public domain, and it can't possibly help applicants.

Perhaps, you can use the number of people who got interviewed and then estimate the acceptance rate this way?

I mean, it must be somewhere between % of getting interviewed and % of matriculation, because you can't be accepted without interviews. That's what I would do if nothing else works out.

People are so cheap. Pay the 30 dollars

I ended up buying it. It actually is pretty helpful, mainly with helping me determine where OOS applicants have really low interview/acceptance rates.

It's also helping me see how many applicants are knocked out pre-interview compared to post-interview. Given my mediocre interviewing skills (which I am working on improving) and relative strength of my written application, I'd rather apply to schools where fewer interviews are extended but the majority of interviewees get accepted (as opposed to applying to schools which interview a lot of people but only accept a small portion of interviewees).

I have no idea what you're talking about, but mcloafs got you covered with that link. Just pay the thirty. As far as I know nothing else accurately answers what you're looking for.

There are free excel spreadsheets to try to help you decide what schools to apply to. In my opinion, USNWR info isn't worth 2 dollars. USNWR is the pissing contest olympics.

Interview to acceptance ratios, step 1 data, % receiving financial aid ther than loans, Residency Program director ratings of the school.

It's helpful but last time I checked there is a site that gives this info for free. I don't know if it is legal or not so I won't link it. Just google "Medical school rankings by average mcat scores"

While I agree the rankings are some BS, like the poster above mentioned it does have some pertinent information.
