The metrics below are just some of the other metrics that we use to determine our rankings.

• Major Focus - How much a school focuses on medicine students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other medicine students want to attend this school to pursue a doctor's degree.
• Educational Resources - How many resources are allocated to students. These resources may include educational expenditures per student, number of students per instructor, and graduation rate among other things.
