Getting into medical school these days is extremely challenging, with acceptance rates often below 10% at many institutions. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the average acceptance rate for U.S. medical schools is about 41%, but top-tier schools have rates as low as 2-4% . This intense competition is due to a combination of factors, including the rising number of applicants each year and the limited number of available spots. Applicants typically need to have stellar academic records, high scores on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), extensive healthcare experience, and strong letters of recommendation to stand a chance .
