What is Western Michigan University Homer Stryker (WMed)'s acceptance rate?

Western Michigan University Homer Stryker (WMed) 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 Western Michigan University Homer Stryker (WMed) received 5,897 applications for 86 seats in the entering class, which is 68.6 applications per seat.

A typical interview day

Interviews will be held virtually beginning late September 2026 for the Class of 2031. The goal of our Interview Day is not only for us to get to know you, but for you to get to know us and start picturing yourself as a WMed student. Applicants invited to interview will be given access to videos, links, and information to review before attending the session so the virtual time together can be used to answer specific questions and focus on your specific areas of interest. The virtual Interview Day will include plenty of time with current students and faculty. Learn more: https://wmed.edu/app
