How the Pitt rate is worked out

Pitt publishes its own admissions numbers for the DMD Class of 2024: 2,041 applicants, 455 interviewed, 80 enrolled. 80 divided by 2,041 is 3.9%. Source

The school does not publish how many offers it made, so this counts students who enrolled. The share offered a seat is somewhat higher, because some admitted applicants go elsewhere.
