What is University of Oklahoma College of Medicine (OU)'s acceptance rate?

University of Oklahoma College of Medicine (OU) 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 University of Oklahoma College of Medicine (OU) received 2,590 applications for 202 seats in the entering class, which is 12.8 applications per seat.
