How the Kansas 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 Kansas School of Medicine received 4,978 applications and enrolled 211 students. 211 divided by 4,978 is 4.2%.
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
8.6% of applications to Kansas came from Kansas residents, and 81.5% of the students who enrolled were Kansas residents. That is about 172 of roughly 428 in-state applicants (40.2%) and 39 of roughly 4,550 out-of-state applicants (0.9%).
Source: AAMC FACTS Table A-1, 2025-2026 (fall 2025 entry). Counts are approximate: they come from A-1's in-state percentages, which are rounded to one decimal.
