How the University of Arizona rate is worked out
The AAMC's FACTS Table A-1 lists, for every MD school in the US, how many applications it received and how many students enrolled. For the class that entered in fall 2025, University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson received 7,342 applications and enrolled 118 students. 118 divided by 7,342 is 1.6%.
A-1 does not count acceptances by school, so this is not the share of applicants offered a seat. That share is higher, because some admitted applicants choose another school.
In-state and out-of-state applicants
10.6% of applications to University of Arizona came from Arizona residents, and 71.2% of the students who enrolled were Arizona residents. That is about 84 of roughly 778 in-state applicants (10.8%) and 34 of roughly 6,564 out-of-state applicants (0.5%).
