Medical school rankings: questions

How are these medical schools ranked?

Each school gets a percentile from 0 to 100 on seven measures: research funding, admissions selectivity (MCAT), primary care, rural practice, graduates who stay in the state, low debt and class diversity. The overall ranking weights research and selectivity most, with debt and diversity counted too. Move the sliders to weight them yourself.

Where do the numbers come from?

Research funding is from NIH RePORTER, where graduates practice is from the federal Medicare clinician file, debt is from the College Scorecard and class makeup is from IPEDS. Admissions figures come from each school's own published class profile, with a link to it.

Why are there no reputation surveys?

Surveys ask deans and employers what they think of other schools. We use only figures you can check, and every number links to its source.

What is the best medical school?

It depends on what you want. Research-heavy schools lead on NIH funding, while others send far more graduates into primary care or rural practice. Choose a preset or move the sliders to see the schools that fit your goals.

Is the Med School Finder free?

Yes. Rankings, school pages, the world rankings and comparing up to three schools are free. 2MM+ adds your personal school list, larger comparisons, Excel downloads and interview prep.

Sources: NIH RePORTER fiscal year 2025 (research funding); CMS Doctors and Clinicians file (where 2005–2019 graduates practice); USDA rural-urban commuting area codes 2020 (rural ZIP codes); College Scorecard (median federal debt); IPEDS 2023–24 (graduates and class makeup); each school's own admissions pages (admissions figures, linked on each school page).
