NotesIn-state share, entering-class size and mean MCAT verified 2026-09-12 against the AACOM ChooseDO directory (figures for the academic year ending 2026). The MCAT figure is the MEAN published by AACOM for the entering class, not a median, because AACOM does not publish a median. GPA, acceptance rate and any range remain unverified estimates. The acceptance rate previously shown here (5.5%) was arithmetically impossible: AACOM reports 265 matriculants from 3833 applicants for entering year 2025, a matriculation rate of 6.47 percent, and a school cannot accept fewer applicants than it enrolls. It has been removed rather than re-estimated; the true accepted-applicant count is not published outside MSAR.

MediumMMI · PanelQ1

Service Orientation and Free Clinic Volunteering

The AAMC lists Service Orientation as a core competency, describing it as a desire to help others that extends beyond self-interest. You have spent two summers volunteering at a free clinic in a rural community where nearly 30% of residents are uninsured.

A classmate argues that pre-medical volunteering is largely performative — a box to tick for applications — and does not reflect genuine service commitment. How do you respond to this critique, and how have your own experiences shaped your understanding of what service orientation actually means for a physician?

Likely follow-up · How do you distinguish genuine service orientation from voluntourism or resume-padding in your own reflection and in evaluating others?

Dropping an ACA Marketplace Plan

Before the Affordable Care Act, a 28-year-old patient with Type 1 diabetes could be denied coverage or charged prohibitively high premiums in the individual market. The ACA's community rating and guaranteed issue provisions changed that. A patient tells you that he is considering dropping his ACA Marketplace plan because premiums have increased and he feels healthy.

As his primary care physician, what do you advise, and what does his situation illustrate about the structure of US health insurance markets?

Likely follow-up · What is adverse selection, and why is it the central actuarial challenge of any insurance market that prohibits medical underwriting?
