How the UND 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 North Dakota School of Medicine & Health Sciences received 1,864 applications and enrolled 75 students. 75 divided by 1,864 is 4.0%.

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

5.8% of applications to UND came from North Dakota residents, and 64.0% of the students who enrolled were North Dakota residents. That is about 48 of roughly 108 in-state applicants (44.4%) and 27 of roughly 1,756 out-of-state applicants (1.5%).

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.
