Medical School Enrollment by School (2026)

Comprehensive per-school medical school enrollment data for 2026. This table lists each U.S. medical school's reported total enrollment (headcount), first-year applicants and matriculants, gender breakdowns (male/female) and residency splits (in-state vs out-of-state). Use this data to compare public vs. private institutions, analyze trends, or support research and planning.

What you will find in the table:

  • Total Enrollment — reported headcount for the school.
  • Applicants — first-year applicants, with male/female and in-state/out-of-state splits.
  • Matriculants — first-year matriculants, with the same gender and residency breakdowns.

Values shown are the headcounts reported by each school. "N/A" indicates that a school did not report a value for that field; a reported zero is shown as 0. For aggregate totals and averages across all reporting schools, see the Enrollment & First-Year Outcomes Summary above.
