What is University of Nebraska College of Medicine (UNMC)'s acceptance rate?

University of Nebraska College of Medicine (UNMC) 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 Nebraska College of Medicine (UNMC) received 2,311 applications for 142 seats in the entering class, which is 16.3 applications per seat.
