How the Michigan State 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, Michigan State University College of Human Medicine received 8,296 applications and enrolled 193 students. 193 divided by 8,296 is 2.3%.
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
18.9% of applications to Michigan State came from Michigan residents, and 72.0% of the students who enrolled were Michigan residents. That is about 139 of roughly 1,568 in-state applicants (8.9%) and 54 of roughly 6,728 out-of-state applicants (0.8%).
