A percentile here is against the programs that report the figure, not against every medical school and not against applicants. It says where the school sits among its reporting peers and nothing else.

Albany Medical College acceptance rate

PreMD does not publish an acceptance rate for individual schools. The free national sources publish applications and matriculants, not the number of offers a school made, so an acceptance rate cannot be calculated from them without inventing the missing number.

What can be published from those figures is the ratio: Albany Medical College received 14,157 applications for 141 seats in the entering class, or about 100.4 applications per seat.

Albany Medical College rankings

PreMD does not publish a ranking of medical schools and does not republish anyone else's. Ranking tables are licensed products, and a number reproduced here without its methodology and its year is worse than no number at all.

What this page publishes instead is the comparison above: where the school's own reported figures sit among the MD programs that report the same figure, with the count of reporting programs stated so the comparison can be judged.
