The sourcing for these acceptance rates are dubious at best. I have never seen a US medical school with acceptance rates that high. The average last time I checked was under 5% and commonly 3-4%. These look like the sponsored ad sites from google...

Here is a better source:

https://www.aamc.org/data-reports/students-residents/data/facts-applicants-and-matriculants

Even DO schools are not even close to that high.

There are no "stones unturned" medical schools in the US. They are ALL competitive.

All of those original 5 sources should be deleted. Go to the authoritative sources only: AMCAS, AACOMAS, TMDSAS, and the individual medical schools.

UNT/TCOM does not have 11.6% acceptance rate. See Admissions statistics at the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine. which clearly indicates an in-state acceptance rate of 218/3767 = 5.8% and out-of-state acceptance rate of 15/728 = 2%. There are 14 taxpayer supported medical schools in Texas and they are required to accept at least 90% Texas residents. Although Baylor College of Medicine is private, it receives state funds to subsidize tuition for Texas residents. It had to separate from Baylor University over half a century ago to receive state funding. These 14 schools use the TMDSAS application service. Only high stat out-of-state applicants get accepted at the TMDSAS schools. Not a Texas resident and have low stats? You're wasting your time and money. Texas Christian University uses AMCAS. University of the Incarnate Word uses AACOMAS. Both are private and are free to accept applicants from anywhere. UT Rio Grande Valley doesn't accept online prerequisites. UTRGV and UT Tyler have very strong regional preferences. Being from elsewhere in Texas isn't good enough.

The Puerto Rican schools require Spanish fluency.

The AI-generated articles often are publishing overall undergraduate acceptance rates at the university, not the medical school that's a part of a big university.
