What is University of Michigan Medical School (UMich)'s acceptance rate?

University of Michigan Medical School (UMich) does not publish an acceptance rate, and neither does any free national source. Those sources publish applications and matriculants, not the number of offers a school made, so a rate cannot be calculated from them without inventing the missing number. What can be stated in 2025-2026 is that University of Michigan Medical School (UMich) received 10,277 applications for 168 seats in the entering class, which is 61.2 applications per seat.
