How the UNR 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, University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine received 2,382 applications and enrolled 72 students. 72 divided by 2,382 is 3.0%.
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
10.7% of applications to UNR came from Nevada residents, and 65.3% of the students who enrolled were Nevada residents. That is about 47 of roughly 255 in-state applicants (18.4%) and 25 of roughly 2,127 out-of-state applicants (1.2%).
