How the Mizzou rate is worked out

Mizzou publishes its own admissions numbers for the Class of 2030: 2,260 applications, 124 enrolled. 124 divided by 2,260 is 5.5%. Source

The school does not publish how many offers it made, so this counts students who enrolled. The share offered a seat is somewhat higher, because some admitted applicants go elsewhere.

We only use numbers the school posts on its own site. National VMCAS and AAVMC tables count applicants differently, so they are left out.
