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.
University of Mississippi Medical Center 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: University of Mississippi Medical Center received 326 applications for 170 seats in the entering class, or about 1.9 applications per seat.

University of Mississippi Medical Center 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.
