In the most recent class to start medical school, SUNY Upstate’s College of Medicine obtained a greater share of its students, nearly 88 percent, from within New York than any of the state’s other dozen medical schools.

SUNY Upstate’s College of Medicine received 4,730 applications for admission for the class of 2016, which enrolled last fall. Of the 156 enrolled students, 87.8 percent of them were from New York state. University at Buffalo was the second highest, with 82.6 percent, followed by Downstate Medical Center at 80.5 percent, and Stony Brook University at 73.4 percent.

We have an excellent class and the state has a strong chance of retaining them. It’s the right thing to do for Upstate and New York State.”
