JAMP EY25 Applicants: Strong Academic Performance and Statewide Representation

The Joint Admission Medical Program (JAMP) continues to serve as a cornerstone for aspiring medical students across Texas, with the EY25 applicant profile showcasing impressive geographic representation, academic performance, and growing interest in the program. 


Top Counties Represented 

Among the 257 applicants who make up 70% of the total pool, the following counties led in applicant numbers: 

  1. Harris County – 58 applicants 
  2. El Paso County – 33 applicants 
  3. Dallas County – 30 applicants 
  4. Tarrant County – 29 applicants 
  5. Hidalgo County – 25 applicants 
  6. Collin County – 20 applicants 
  7. Bexar County – 18 applicants 
  8. Fort Bend County – 18 applicants 
  9. Denton County – 14 applicants 
  10. Webb County – 12 applicants

This data highlights strong participation from major metropolitan areas like Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and El Paso, alongside growing engagement from counties like Hidalgo and Webb. 

Academic Excellence 

The EY25 class demonstrated strong academic performance with: 

  • An average overall GPA of 3.71 
  • An average of 62 credit hours completed 
  • An average class rank of 44 

These achievements reflect the high caliber of students seeking to join the program. 

Early Admission and Interview Invitations 

The profile also notes that 6.5% (24 applicants) are classified as Early Admission (EA), demonstrating interest in early pathways to a medical career. 

As part of the selection process, applicants have been selected to interview with the JAMP Council in January for one of the 150 spots available in the program. This next step underscores the competitiveness of JAMP and the commitment of these applicants to pursuing their medical education. 

A Growing Pipeline for Healthcare Access 

With Texas continuing to face healthcare shortages, particularly in rural areas, the geographic distribution of JAMP applicants demonstrates promising trends for the state’s future physician workforce. The strong academic performance and readiness of these applicants signal their ability to meet the challenges of medical education and training. 

As JAMP continues its mission to prepare future physicians, the EY25 applicant profile highlights the program’s success in attracting and supporting motivated, talented students from across Texas.
