How the UMKC 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 Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine received 1,589 applications and enrolled 134 students. 134 divided by 1,589 is 8.4%.

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

19.8% of applications to UMKC came from Missouri residents, and 60.4% of the students who enrolled were Missouri residents. That is about 81 of roughly 315 in-state applicants (25.7%) and 53 of roughly 1,274 out-of-state applicants (4.2%).
