It is comparable to MSAR in price if I remember.
The biggest things I found interesting from US News were admit rates/acceptance numbers, reported average step 1 scores, and residency director / peer institute reputation survey scores. You might be able to find that information from someone that has a US News login for your schools of interest though without buying months of subscription time...click name --> start convo.
A rough rule of thumb is to multiply the number of seats by 2-3 to give you the number of accepts.
That may not be True. For example if we consider Three tiers of schools. Top schools may be they give away 1 to 1.
No school can afford to have one scceptee per seat. Period
Even places like Johns Hopkins and Stanford give roughly 2:1 (taken directly from US News data).
If even top schools did 1 to 1, they couldn't fill their seats. Someone accepted at Hopkins may very likely also be accepted at UCSF and Harvard and Stanford and others. They can only matriculate at one of those schools, so the schools would logically have to accept more than their class size.
, but Goro is still right
Most do not.
Even if they do, the ability to move up on the list gets trumped by the need to build a balanced class, or fulfill whatever need the Admissions Dean sees necessitates filling. So if you're number five on the list, and male, and the proposed class has a 60/40 male/female gender balance, then then females who are lower ranked will get to cut to the head of the line.
