How the UConn 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, UConn School of Medicine received 5,734 applications and enrolled 114 students. 114 divided by 5,734 is 2.0%.

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

9.0% of applications to UConn came from Connecticut residents, and 68.4% of the students who enrolled were Connecticut residents. That is about 78 of roughly 516 in-state applicants (15.1%) and 36 of roughly 5,218 out-of-state applicants (0.7%).
