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.
That’s among the findings announced by State University of New York Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher today, citing an analysis of data recently released by the Association of American Medical Colleges.
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.
