How the Michigan 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 Michigan Medical School received 10,277 applications and enrolled 168 students. 168 divided by 10,277 is 1.6%.
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
11.6% of applications to Michigan came from Michigan residents, and 32.1% of the students who enrolled were Michigan residents. That is about 54 of roughly 1,192 in-state applicants (4.5%) and 114 of roughly 9,085 out-of-state applicants (1.3%).
