See the graph below from https://www.aamc.org/media/9581/download?attachment
Forty years ago, 1983 there were about 36000 applicants for US allopathic medical schools. About 25000 were first time attempting to gain admission and about 11000 were trying again after previously failing to gain admission.
Five years ago, 2018, there were about 52000 applicants for US allopathic schools, 39000 were first time and 13000 repeats.
Please, readers, do not repeat the false claim that the number of people applying to medical school is down from 120000 to 25000. It is blatantly, totally , completely untrue. |
And I found sources that support my position previously. Maybe I was wrong in the actual number, my source might have been in error. No matter. So, using the numbers you posted above, of the "increase" in applicants from 36,000 to 52,000, how many are Americans who attended American Universities and how many are learning English as a second language?
