How the FIU 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, FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine received 6,013 applications and enrolled 121 students. 121 divided by 6,013 is 2.0%.

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

43.3% of applications to FIU came from Florida residents, and 90.9% of the students who enrolled were Florida residents. That is about 110 of roughly 2,604 in-state applicants (4.2%) and 11 of roughly 3,409 out-of-state applicants (0.3%).
