FACTS - Applicants, Matriculants and Graduates
The numbers of 2002 applicants selecting one or more discrete categories
to describe their race/ethnicity are displayed below. These data
reflect the results of the new separate race and ethnicity questions
that allow multiple responses, first used by AMCAS in 2002, and
are not directly comparable to data from prior years. As indicated
in footnote 2, the totals are unduplicated counts, and do not equal
the sum of the race/ethnicity categories, because applicants may
make multiple selections. For example, an applicant could designate
Mexican American ethnicity, and Black and White race. If you wish
to print this table in its entirety, we recommend that you use the
"landscape" setting on your printer, rather than the default "portrait"
setting. Please email
us if you need further assistance or have additional inquiries.
