According to the American Association of Medical Colleges, more than 580,000 students applied to medical school last year, with most institutions receiving an average of about 4,000 applications. But there were a few schools that drew thousands more prospects than any others: Temple's School of Medicine had the sixth highest number of applicants of any other U.S. medical school for the 2010-2011 academic year, with more than 9,600 students vying for just 210 spots.
