VCU interviews with an MMI
Once you have an invitation, practice its interview format out loud with Confetto's AI interviewer, which asks follow-up questions and gives feedback on every answer.
How the VCU 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, VCU School of Medicine received 8,306 applications and enrolled 184 students. 184 divided by 8,306 is 2.2%.
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
14.1% of applications to VCU came from Virginia residents, and 63.0% of the students who enrolled were Virginia residents. That is about 116 of roughly 1,171 in-state applicants (9.9%) and 68 of roughly 7,135 out-of-state applicants (1.0%).
