How the NYU 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, NYU Grossman School of Medicine received 8,385 applications and enrolled 99 students. 99 divided by 8,385 is 1.2%.

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

14.0% of applications to NYU came from New York residents, and 21.2% of the students who enrolled were New York residents. That is about 21 of roughly 1,174 in-state applicants (1.8%) and 78 of roughly 7,211 out-of-state applicants (1.1%).
