While I'm aware every college is filled with students all "majoring in pre-med" (freshman are so cute walking around saying that...), I was curious to know which state has the MOST pre-meds? I'm a New Yorker and it seems like NY has a tonnnnnnn of them, but clearly I'm biased 😛.

I'm going to guess California.

Do you mean like the number of premeds per capita, or the absolute number of premeds? Because if it's just the absolute number, then probably the most populous state has the most premeds, i.e. California.

Per capita* Sorry I should've specified that.

Most public university "pre-meds" give up on it when they realize being a rich fancy doctor is actually a lot of work.

Divide by total population of the state to get a % based analysis.

In 2014, California had 5920 legal-resident applicants, New York had 3400. Texas beat out NY with 3870. From that you can calculate per capita stats.
