Which schools get the most applicants? and which ones accept the least amount of students?

Which schools get the most applicants? and which ones accept the least amount of students?

LECOM because three campuses. Probably followed with western.

It's hard to determine that last question because each school has set criteria on who to accept (regional bias? Mission biased? Etc)

All I can say is mine gets >5000, and the numbers keep going up each year.

The former is easily found per the AACOM. Probably would be really hard, if not impossible, to find published data on the latter.

PCOM actually gets the most number of applicants for a specific campus (250 seats). LECOM-E & SH are next, since SH is a satellite campus for MS1-2 and not a proper branch campus it's counted together (354 seats). Next is CCOM (206 seats). Be aware also that schools can accept 108% of their number of seats, because the rest is assumed normal attrition.

Least acceptances are in order SOMA, WCU-COM, & COMP-NW (each with 100 seats), followed by OSU-COM (115 seats).

OP all this info can be found here:

Yeah, except I just realized OP was asking how many total get accepted at each school, not how many people actually go.

That info is anyone's guess, but it's likely somewhere between 150-250% of their class size, depending on the school. I asked this question at a low tier MD school back in the day, and they were like, we accept 180-200% of our seats and that usually gives us a full class. It probably depends a lot on how many schools there are in the area, etc.

That link was a tad confusing

The designations in navy blue are the number of applicants for each school, alternatively you can look on page 4 and see the total at the rightmost column for each school. The number of seats is the bottom row of the table.

The designations basically show you how many people that applied to X school also applied to Y school. Looking at the table you can get an idea how many people apply to both schools, etc. Surprise, surprise it tends to overlap with location, e.g. a lot of people who apply to PCOM also apply to LECOM, people who apply to NYCOM also apply to Touro-NY, etc.

The total at the bottom left on page 4 indicates the number of applicants (averaged) per DO school (~6100), which tells you nothing about individual schools. I'm sure a school with 100 seats won't get as many apps as one with 300.

Yea I got it eventually but it was just a really weird way of displaying the info

Last year's cycle for PCOM
8,300 applicants
~600 interview invites
~400 acceptances given out
270 seats
