CAA Program Admissions Statistics

Last reviewed August 17, 2026 · Every figure verified against its cited source between August 12, 2026 and August 17, 2026.

No central body publishes anesthesiologist assistant admissions data, and most programs publish little. This page gathers every admissions figure that 21 of the 30 campuses in our directory (15 of 18 institutions) have put on the record. The summary answers the two questions most applicants bring; the full tables below it carry every published figure with its qualifiers. Each number is the most recent one published; earlier cycles, the exact source, and context sit on the program's own page.

‡ A program-stated benchmark for competitive applicants, not an average of who enrolled. Applicant counts do not share a definition across programs (some count every CASAA application started, some only verified ones, one a three-year total), which is why no per-seat ratio is computed here. Divide only where the basis matches.

Full Detail

Why there is no single acceptance rate column

Programs count applicants differently: some report every CASAA application started, others only verified or completed ones, and one reports a three-year total. Offers exceed seats because not every admitted student enrolls. Dividing one program's numbers by another's would produce exactly the kind of misleading statistic this site exists to avoid, so compare within a row, and read the notes under each figure before comparing across rows.
