What is Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS)'s acceptance rate?

Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) does not publish an acceptance rate, and neither does any free national source. Those sources publish applications and matriculants, not the number of offers a school made, so a rate cannot be calculated from them without inventing the missing number. What can be stated in 2025-2026 is that Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) received 7,613 applications for 151 seats in the entering class, which is 50.4 applications per seat.
