I was just reading the 2012 annual report from D.O. schools and there were roughly 100,000 total applications for 2010. How many applicants do you think make up that number? As there is obviously some overlap as people apply to multiple schools.

From what I reads, an average applicant applied to about ~10 schools so divide 100k/10= 10k applicant roughly. My ball park is around 8-10k applicants. Not even close to 20k.
