How the Indiana 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, Indiana University School of Medicine received 7,822 applications and enrolled 366 students. 366 divided by 7,822 is 4.7%.
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
8.8% of applications to Indiana came from Indiana residents, and 86.6% of the students who enrolled were Indiana residents. That is about 317 of roughly 688 in-state applicants (46.1%) and 49 of roughly 7,134 out-of-state applicants (0.7%).
