FAQ

Should I only apply to #1?

No. Rank position reflects registry-field completeness and accreditation posture under a published formula — not clinical fit, visa pathway, or personal constraints. Use the list to shortlist, then read each school page and primary sources.

Can a school pay for a higher rank?

No. Placement is algorithmic from registry fields. We do not sell ranking position or upgrade agency labels for payment.

Why might a well-known school rank lower?

Missing Title IV confirmation, missing sourced tuition totals, or missing school-reported USMLE strings reduce points. That is data completeness — not a claim that the school is “bad.”
