How the Maryland 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 Maryland School of Medicine received 7,186 applications and enrolled 171 students. 171 divided by 7,186 is 2.4%.
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
15.2% of applications to Maryland came from Maryland residents, and 69.0% of the students who enrolled were Maryland residents. That is about 118 of roughly 1,092 in-state applicants (10.8%) and 53 of roughly 6,094 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.
