<p>every school i saw has an acceptance rate under 10%. i'd like to see a single school with any kind of acceptance rate higher than this, unless this is the average for all schools :(</p>
<p>Oh please. What is your home state?</p>
<p>new jersey, why?</p>
<p>UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School</p>
<p>UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School 29.4% In State Acceptance</p>
<p>On an unrelated note:
Why would 2712 OOS students apply to UMDNJ-NJMS when they don't admit OOS students? Predictably, not a single interview was granted. Kids need to do their research.</p>
<p>Poor research skills?</p>

<p>RWJ is pretty good about interviewing OOS kids, but NJMS has 2700 OOS applicants and granted zero interviews to them. Seriously, kids need to pay attention.</p>
<p>EDIT: Wanted to clarify that post #5 has not been edited.</p>
<p>Yeah like what medical schools are in their state and give preference to home boys/girls.</p>
