<p>A friend of mine asked me this today, and I didn't have an answer.</p>
<p>Obviously, some SOMs get a gazillion apps. I know that the smaller public SOM in our state doesn't get a lot of apps, but mostly only accepts instate students (except for a few OOS students with ties to the state). </p>
<p>I think my friend is more interested in identifying some privates that get fewer apps.</p>
<p>I think it’s in the MSAR? The MSAR I used showed # of applicants and # of matriculants, but didn’t show # of accepted students.</p>
<p>I’ve also seen this info on various school’s websites. Look for stats about the current class; seems like they always say MCAT, GPA, and how many applicants they had for how many spots they filled (eg 5578 people interviewed for 126 spots) (totally made up those numbers).</p>
<p>the lizzym also lists number of applicants, interviews and percentage in state</p>
<p>Does anyone have the LizzyM link? I don’t have it on my iPad and I’m not where my laptop is.</p>
<p>^^You might approach the LizzyM database with some caution since the data are reported by individual volunteer contributors to said database and may not be accurate.</p>
<p>I can never remember which data is in the MSAR and which is fro USNews&WR, and I don’t have subscriptions to either at the moment. But I know one tells the number of apps, IIs, accepted, etc.</p>
<p>I think beyond who gets fewer apps, you have to add the acceptance rate, and the smaller details such as IS vs. OOS, etc.</p>
<p>A link to the LizzyM spreadsheet is in my post here:</p>

<p>^“Way back when” I was applying a few years ago, USNWR had apps, IIs, accepted, etc. MSAR just had number of applicants and class size.</p>
<p><em>WAY</em> back in my day, you had to get the number of applicants from MSAR, the admissions percentage from USNWR; and number interviewed and eventual class size from the MSAR.</p>
<p>From there, you could calculate the total number accepted, yield rate, and odds of admission once interviewed.</p>
<p>^Sounds like someone’s a little bitter about turning another year older tomorrow… ;)</p>
