Professional School Acceptance Rate
for BSC Grads

Acceptance rates of BSC students in Health Professional Schools over a nine-year period (2004-2012) and available national trends. Data include only students graduating from BSC and who submitted a full application. A minority of applicants earned degrees outside of BSC Biology. AAMC combines MD and DO school data as do we. We graduate 20-30 pre-health students per year, some of whom apply to multiple types of schools. National trends are presented when available.
