How the Nova Southeastern 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, Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine, Nova Southeastern University received 5,790 applications and enrolled 65 students. 65 divided by 5,790 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

39.0% of applications to Nova Southeastern came from Florida residents, and 73.8% of the students who enrolled were Florida residents. That is about 48 of roughly 2,258 in-state applicants (2.1%) and 17 of roughly 3,532 out-of-state applicants (0.5%).
