University of South Carolina (Greenville) 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 South Carolina (Greenville) received 4,157 applications for 110 seats in the entering class, or about 37.8 applications per seat.

University of South Carolina (Greenville) 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.
