What is the accept rate of Penn State students to medical school?
In answering this question, you must first realize that Penn State has a large group of non-traditional applicants (graduate students and older students who have returned to school for additional undergraduate study) applying for medical school admission each year. Also, there is no mechanism in operation at Penn State where students are pre-screened to determine who can or who cannot apply for medical school admission. With this in mind, the application/accept figures for the past several years show that of all students across the University who applied for medical school admission, about 60% were accepted. If you consider just the junior year undergraduate students who applied, about 65% were accepted. And finally, in looking at just the undergraduate Premedicine majors who applied, about 70% were accepted. These above figures compare with an overall national accept rate of about 40%.
