U. of Hawaii Gets Record High Number of Applications

The University of Hawaii's John A. Burns School of Medicine has received over 1,900 applications for the 64 first-year class spaces available in Fall 2007.

This year's applicant pool marks a 16.5 per cent increase from last year and sets a record high for the number applications submitted to the School in a single admissions season.

Only 223 of this year's applications are from Hawaii residents, while the remainder are from non-residents. The School's policy is to enroll no more than 6 out-of-state students in each class.
