Notes
BLOCKED / UNVERIFIED: medschool.umich.edu serves a Cloudflare challenge (HTTP 403 / 'Just a moment' page) to automated fetches. The 2025 entering-class figures above (10,265 applicants, 443 interviewed, class size 168, mean science GPA 3.81, mean total GPA 3.85) come from a search-engine excerpt of the school's own '2025 Entering Class Profile' PDF (updated 8/12/2025) and could not be verified directly. The school reports MCAT as a mean percentile (92.61), not a score, so MCAT fields are null. The admissions_url is the site's MD program section and was not verifiable for the same reason.
