What is Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM)'s acceptance rate?

Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) 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 2020 entering class is that Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) received 8,168 applications for 267 seats in the entering class, which is 30.6 applications per seat.
