the yield rates at all med schools are relatively low (generally in the 50% area), so at least half the people admitted to a given med school end up going somewhere else (this is true even of the very top schools), and overall there aren’t usually problems with overcrowding. It does happen sometimes though - last year for example, Drexel med enrolled 50 more students than it had intended to (a sizable percentage increase), this resulted in very unpleasant classroom overcrowding and actually some students were offered a year’s tuition remission if they chose to defer their admission by a year.
