Note: In <strong>2016</strong>, the methodology for calculating first-time applicants was updated from any applicant who had not applied in the past<br />
nine years to any applicant who had not applied since 1973, the earliest year for which there is AMCAS data. The counts for all years in<br />
this table reflect the new methodology. Due to the updated methodology, tables published prior to <strong>2016</strong> may display different first-time<br />
applicant counts.<br />
<strong>First</strong>-time applicants who declined to report sex are not reflected in the table above.<br />
