College of Medicine

 The Florida State University College of Medicine is looking for a few good medical students. One hundred and twenty of them each year during the admissions process.
   On Friday, U.S. News and World Report published news from its recent graduate-program survey revealing the FSU College of Medicine as the second-most competitive medical school in the country for admissions. The College of Medicine extended 151 offers among the more than 6,200 applicants for the class admitted in May 2015. The admissions rate of 2.4 percent trailed only Mayo Medical School (Rochester, Minnesota).
   “We clearly have become a medical school of choice not only because our students consistently match with outstanding residency programs, but because word has gotten out about the tremendous experiences our students have during their four years of medical education in our unique, community-based approach,” College of Medicine Dean John P. Fogarty said.
   “While we may be extremely competitive in the selection process, our priority is finding students who believe in our mission and will help us continue to produce the doctors Florida needs most. As you can see from our match results today, our students are choosing to serve in areas of greatest need. They clearly understand the call to serve their fellow man.”
   Following Florida State on the Top 10 list of medical schools with the most competitive admissions process were:

• Stanford University
• George Washington University
• Brown University
• Georgetown University
• University of California – Davis
• Wake Forest University
• University of California – Los Angeles
