How the Touro rate is worked out

Touro publishes its own admissions numbers for the Class of 2030: 4,360 applications, 816 interviewed, 214 enrolled. 214 divided by 4,360 is 4.9%. 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.
