What is Tulane University School of Medicine's acceptance rate?

Tulane University School of Medicine 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 Tulane University School of Medicine received 13,814 applications for 190 seats in the entering class, which is 72.7 applications per seat.
