How the UH Fertitta 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, Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine at the University of Houston received 5,247 applications and enrolled 60 students. 60 divided by 5,247 is 1.1%.

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

81.7% of applications to UH Fertitta came from Texas residents, and 93.3% of the students who enrolled were Texas residents. That is about 56 of roughly 4,287 in-state applicants (1.3%) and 4 of roughly 960 out-of-state applicants (0.4%).
