How the UNMC 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 Nebraska Medical Center College of Medicine received 2,311 applications and enrolled 142 students. 142 divided by 2,311 is 6.1%.

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

13.2% of applications to UNMC came from Nebraska residents, and 84.5% of the students who enrolled were Nebraska residents. That is about 120 of roughly 305 in-state applicants (39.3%) and 22 of roughly 2,006 out-of-state applicants (1.1%).
