<p>It is calculated from the raw data.</p>
<p>Are you talking about all medical schools or just FSU medical school?</p>
<p>I looked at every link on that page and could not find the "raw data." Since the average acceptance rate for florida residents into med school is 47%....if your information is correct, I guess none of those schools are doing a good job. Barry University claims that 90% of their students that apply to med school are admitted. </p>
<p>FYI...all of University of Miami's classes are taught by professors and 0% by TAs or tape.</p>
<p>As the parent of a son who is going through the med school application process now, and one who is applying to all the FL med schools (resident) the thing you have to remember is that it is more about the GPA and MCAT than anything else with med schools. Next is clinical and research experience. And while FSU's medical school only accepts students that are Florida residents the other's accept OOS. Although preference is still given to residents. I'm not saying that I think that any of the FL schools are better or worse, but to say that any school will give you a better chance isn't quite the reality. The reality is that in order to go to med school, it's more about the student than the institution.</p>
<p>Here are the facts that I could find on FSU's med school. Taken from mdapplicants.com. These are students that got an interview at FSU med. </p>

<p>Yep, you're right. </p>
<p>The total matriculants in 2005 from all Florida universities works out to be 47.1% per the AAMC data. My calculations, while the math is correct, do not reflect what I said they did. I am in error with my original interpretation of the data. I even called AAMC to be sure.</p>
<p>The correct interpretation of my figures would be:</p>
<p>Med School % accepted into that med school (accepted/applied)</p>
<p>U Miami 4.96% (182/3666)
U Florida 6.25% (128/2048)
Florida State 6.62% (80/1209)
U South Florida 6.77% (120/1772)</p>
<p>Now that we're clear on that analysis, where does it say that 90% of Barry University applicants successfully are admitted into an allopathic med school in 2005?</p>
<p>Are you referring to AAMC data?</p>
<p>Could you please "show your work" on the "raw data" extracted from the link you provided?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>The math is shown above.</p>
<p>Barry's rate seems too good to be true...could be they make it so difficult that only the most qualified survive the undergraduate program. Even so, 90% is very high.</p>
<p>This is my analysis
[U Miami 4.96% (182/3666)]
182 being the # of matriculants (applicants accepted)
3666 is the # of APPLICATIONS not applicants. (Note the column headings). </p>
<p>The Corrected Analysis (Based on Available Data):</p>
<p>U Miami - 55% (182 matriculants/330 applicants)
FSU - 46% (80 matriculants/174 applicants) Note 1
UF - 26% (128 matriculants/496 applicants)
USF - Not Enough Data Available</p>
<p>Source: <a href="http://www.aamc.org/data/facts/start.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.aamc.org/data/facts/start.htm</a>
Table 3: (Matriculants by School) 182/80/128 respectively
Table 13: Undergraduate Institutions Producing the most Medical School Applicants (Sum of Tables 1-7) 330/174 (Missing Asian Count)/496 respectively
Note 1: The table for Asian applicants stops at 35 and thus there is no applicant count for FSU. Since Asians are the second largest applicant pool in the other Florida Schools one can assume there is some number less than 35 that would need to be reflected in the FSU applicant count to be more precise. This of course would negatively effect the acceptance rate.</p>
<p>Are you suggesting that each med school will accept more than one application from the same applicant in one year?</p>
<p>I'm having some difficulty with your analysis. For purposes of the AAMC sheet, here:</p>
<p>'applicants' and 'applications' are treated as synonymous on the sheet. </p>
<p>I find it difficult to believe that any allopathic med school would entertain more than one application from one applicant per year. In fact, they probably have little, and decreasing, patience for the same rejected applicant year after year, if any at all.</p>
<p>I suspect that you might be overlooking the fact that while 47.1% of med applicants from Florida universities get into med school, those schools are most certainly not all in Florida. I think this position is also supported by the fact that, on average, a medical school hopeful sends out about 12 applications in their quest.</p>
<p>There was no way that there was over 3000 applicants from Miami. That is larger than the whole graduation class. (About 2200 kids per year.) </p>
<p>The way to explain the application number being so large is not the number of applicants....however, it may be the number of applications submitted. There is one application. Since each student usually applies to no less than 6 schools, most in the 10-12 range, and a few apply to 20 or more. So 300 total FL residents could very well create "3000" applications, but that doesn't mean that there were a "true" 3000 applicants. </p>
<p>There are a significant number of those "residents" who are also non-traditional students and repeat applicants. So even though they may now be considered Floridians, truth be told, they are probably newer residents. I'd say that we'd be surprised at the number of applicants who are apply the second time or more. A small raise in MCAT score or experience can be the key ingredient for admission. I'd be curious to see that statistics that says if these residents were recent grads or non-traditional students.</p>
<p>That 3666 figure is the number of applications (assuming one application per applicant) TO the U Miami medical school in 2005 - from all over the US. In fact, U Miami has most applications coming from out of state. That is quite reasonable.</p>
<p>SB2's figure of, for example, only 174 applications in 2005 to the Florida State College of medicine is not reasonable. Neither is her figure of only 496 applications in 2005 to the U Florida Med school.</p>
<p>Were we to accept this, (looking at her UF figures, for example) any applicant to the UF COM would have a 25.8% chance of being accepted. I can assure you, this is NOT the case as with FSU's COM at nearly 46% (almost a 1 in 2 chance) , per her figures. Med school applicants might dream about chances like this, but it is not reality.</p>
<p>My apologies to all. I have confused the subject by misreading the tables.</p>
<p>My numbers are incorrect. Table 2 is the number of applications TO the medical school and the resulting matriculants based on residence and sex. There are no tables reflecting number of matriculants FROM Florida schools only Florida Residents.</p>
<p>My number of 330 is the total of applicants from UM. Cannot compute from any table how many were actually excepted to ANY Med School.</p>
<p>What I would REALLY like to know is the acceptance rate of undergraduates from Florida Schools to med schools.</p>
<p>No apologies needed, I ate some crow too a bit earlier. If I find some figures on what you want, I'll post them. </p>
<p>Keep smiling!</p>
<p>This website will give you an idea as to what applicant qualities give you a shot at acceptance at US med schools.</p>
<p>Note, though, that this site has only those applicants listed who elect to have their stats displayed. Most applicants apparently don't allow their stats to be displayed.</p>
<p>Update to our previous conversation.</p>
<p>There were 1,222 Florida resident applicants to UM Med School out of the 3,666.</p>
<p>I am going to be a senior this upcoming year and I was wondering if someone here could give me advise. I want to study medicine. I am taking summer classes at my community college this summer and next year I am going to my high school for AP Calc and then leaving to take classes at the cc. My parents insists on me going to UCF. ( I don’t really like Orlando). I would love to attend UF but personally I don’t think I will make it, I don’t have a perfect 4.0 GPA. I have a 3.7 and I am taking my SATs next week.
Do you think FSU would be a better school to go to if I want to study medicine?
and would it be weird to go to UF after having attended FSU.
I am not really into sports, I only play soccer…so it’s not that big of a deal.
I am just a little bit confused and need some guidance, I have looked up some information on both schools but I don’t know where to go from here.
Also if you have any suggestions on what classes I should take at my cc it would be helpful.</p>
<p>you don’t need a 4.0 to get into uf. it’s not harvard. i got in with a 3.6.</p>
