Seats: 63 Official
Applicants: 738 Official
Applicants per seat: 11.7 Estimate
Seats divided by applicants: 9% Estimate

That makes Chicago (Midwestern) the 1st most competitive of 25 programs by applicants per seat. Nationwide, 2,897 applicants competed for 1,956 seats, and 72% were accepted somewhere.

Treat the percentage as a rough guide. Most applicants apply to several schools (the average is 4.3) and a school's applicant count includes people who never finish, so seats divided by applicants is not the share of applicants who got in. For a fairer read, compare your own numbers with the class: stats checker.

Closest in applicants per seat: Arizona (Midwestern) (10.3) and MCPHS (9.1).
