Applications for the nation's medical schools declined in number during 1951 for the second consecutive year, the Association of American Medical Colleges reported last week. The Association also revealed that the largest freshman class in the recent history of medical education was admitted for the 1951-52 academic year.
This year 70,673 applications were made to medical schools, 2,359 under last year's total. The number of students applying was 19,320, for an average of 3.5 applications per student. Of those applying, 7,381 were accepted.
Thirty percent of this year's applicants had applied a year ago, been rejected, and reapplied this year. This indicates, the A.A.M.C. says, that about one of every two who apply to medical schools are eventually accepted.
