1 Recent Health Professional School Acceptance information (11/15) Medical Schools information is at the top of this document with other Health Profession information following Graphs and statistics will give all students an idea of what they will need to do. The information will give current students an idea of where they are regarding their academic record and acceptance benchmarks. AAMC Medical Schools (American MD programs) Acceptance Rates. It is very hard to compare acceptance numbers across institutions. Everyone measures rates differently and may report on different populations. The resources and collective knowledge of an institution should be the important things to compare and ask about as you visit schools. What you do to prepare and succeed determines your acceptance in a professional school. Your job now should be to find a school which is a good fit for you and has a broad range of strengths, while having good HPA resources and programming. Since you will find acceptance rates reported at other institutions, three different ways to measure the acceptance rates of our students are given below. Remember, we are not gate-keepers at Rhodes, all students who want to apply from Rhodes are assisted. This is not true of all programs. Any student at Rhodes who participates in any of our programming is considered to be in our HPA program. Our Medical acceptance rate for only our graduating seniors going straight to AAMC Medical Schools for seniors (6 yrs) averages 65%. This is 56% greater than 2014 national overall acceptance rate. However more than 20% of our successful first-time applicants apply at graduation or as recent alumni and are not counted in this statistic. Few other schools publish this acceptance rate and the culture nationwide is moving towards more and more students taking a growth year before going on to medical school. As is true nationally, some of our students delay their application to medical school. (The average age of entering AAMC medical students is years old.) Some of our best students do two year service programs such as Teach for America or the Peace Corps. Our students overall acceptance rate to AAMC Medical Schools summed over 6 graduating years, is 79% ( )*. This is 93% greater than 2014 national rate. This rate is higher if we were to include students who go on to take graduate or postbaccalaureate programs before applying to medical school, or students going on to non-aamc osteopathic and offshore allopathic schools. I think the best measure is the following, as we allow all of our students to apply and the following emphasizes success based on student achievement. Of all Rhodes students who applied from the past 6 years ( )* who had stats of 3.40 GPA,& 27 MCAT (this is the about the 1 s.d. of the 2014 national GPA (3.69) and MCAT (31.4) averages of those accepted at AAMC medical schools) our acceptance rate was 91%. This is 42% greater than the 2014 national average for students in this same range of GPA and MCAT totals ( 3.40 GPA, 27 MCAT) which was 64%. *Exclusive of alumni who took more than 8 hrs post-baccalaureate work AAMC = American Associate of Medical Schools and award the MD degree. Why we are not gate keepers. 1) We serve all of our students equally. 2) To be successful in medical school application it is advantageous to apply early in the cycle which may be before a MCAT score is available. Subsequent scores may put someone below 1 s.d. to benchmarks, but if they had scored higher, we feel they would have been at an advantage with their early application. 3) Some students who are more competitive for DO or offshore programs but reach to apply to AAMC schools. 4) some students from underrepresented groups who have currently unacceptable scores and grades, are recruited from this pool and only from those who have applied, for one year probationary programs at some medical schools that yield guaranteed acceptance to that medical school if a certain level of performance is attained during that first

2 year. These programs often come with financial aide. 5) our students are accepted from this at risk group above the national percentages. This speaks to our program and students. The percentage of our students scoring below 1 s.d. of the 2009 national averages, (below GPA = 3.4 and MCAT = 27) that were accepted with their first application was 32% and goes up to 53% for those persistent alumni with repeated applications as summed over 6 years. That is more than twice the national rate of 22% for these scores Please see that graphs that follow below looking at acceptances, GPA, MCAT, First vs. repeated applications, and DO vs MD acceptances. In looking at the application cycles we averaged 30 students and alumni matriculate at AAMC medical school (MD), 2.6 at AACOM (DO) and <1 at offshore schools (MD) per year. Yearly average total = 35 accepted to any medical school. This includes all students and alumni even those who first took significant post-rhodes course work.
