Yep, those are just the out of state stats. Here are the in-state stats:

UTSW: 2762 applied, 689 interviewed, 333 were accepted, 193 enrolled
OSU: 1043 applied, 279 interviewed, 199 were accepted, 129 enrolled
UVA: 545 applied, 153 interviewed, 125 were accepted, 81 enrolled
MO: 459 applied, 237 interviewed, 125 were accepted, 84 enrolled (yeah! I’m in these stats for next year!!!)
KY: 412 applied, 226 interviewed, 114 were accepted, 78 enrolled
OK: 353 applied, 243 interviewed, 174 were accepted, 150 enrolled
MN: 1154 applied, 366 interviewed, 259 were accepted, 175 enrolled

Yes, accepted includes anyone ever accepted.

You can figure out how many they accepted off the waitlist by subtracting total matriculants (so for MO: 84 in state + 11 out of state = 95) from the total acceptances (for MO: 125 in state + 19 out of state = 144) to get the number accepted from the waitlist (for MO: 144 - 95 = 49–which jives with what admissions director told us (that about half come from the waitlist)).

No idea how they determine movement from waitlist. I know at my school, they’ve recently shifted from just giving the acceptance (from waitlist) to the next kid in line to giving it to the applicant most likely to “replace” the accepted kid who turned them down. So let’s say I’m a 32 year old guy from small town MO and I turned down my acceptance. My school would give the next acceptance to say, a 34 year old chick from a small town rather than me, a 22 year old from a city.

Replace ages and backgrounds with any other factors (undergrad school, volunteering, leadership, shadowing, desire to go into primary care, etc etc etc) and that’s allegedly how my school works the waitlist.
