AACOM only provides matriculation data. The admission rate is probably much higher, as ~35% of students admitted to osteopathic schools do not matriculate, compared to the less than 5% of students admitted to allopathic (M.D.) schools who do not matriculate. The discrepancy is largely due to students accepted to both M.D. and D.O. schools who choose to attend an M.D. program. Comprehensive data on admission to specific osteopathic (DO) and foreign medical schools is unavailable.
These statistics are offered as a guide and should not be used as a final determination of where you should apply to medical school. Consult resources in the Career Services Center or a graduate school advisor for further information about medical schools and for advice on the medical school application process.
