How the Mount Sinai 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, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai received 9,551 applications and enrolled 128 students. 128 divided by 9,551 is 1.3%.
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
16.9% of applications to Mount Sinai came from New York residents, and 26.6% of the students who enrolled were New York residents. That is about 34 of roughly 1,614 in-state applicants (2.1%) and 94 of roughly 7,937 out-of-state applicants (1.2%).
