What is University of Minnesota Medical School (UMN)'s acceptance rate?

University of Minnesota Medical School (UMN) 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 Minnesota Medical School (UMN) received 6,843 applications for 264 seats in the entering class, which is 25.9 applications per seat.
