Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine 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: Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine received 5,920 applications for 109 seats in the entering class, or about 54.3 applications per seat.

Applicants who select more than one campus track option will only be invited to interview with one campus, taking into consideration the specific rank of preference. That interview will count for the other campus tracks that were selected. Applicants invited to interview with us will participate in: virtual welcome session, two, one-on-one, 30-minute, virtual interviews, a virtual tour of campus, connecting with current students, and question-and-answer sessions. Applicants should be dressed in business professional attire for their interviews. Applicants will also be required to meet with one member of MCASOM's alumni network as part of our Alumni Visit Program. These conversations provide applicants with an opportunity to learn more about MCASOM, Mayo Clinic’s culture and values, and the experiences of our alumni.

Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine 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.
