Medical Schools are aiming to increase enrollment by 30 percent by 2015 to combat projected physician shortages. In order for schools to reach this goal, they must entice prospective students not only to apply, but to enroll once accepted.

The 10 most popular medical schools in the U.S. posted yields of 74 percent or greater, with two schools managing to snag first place. A yield percentage is defined by the number of students accepted by a medical school who ultimately decide to enroll in the program.

The following are the ten most popular medical schools:
