You are incorrect, Yalebound. In recent years, Harvard has had over 2.000 applicants annually with 800’s on the verbal SAT’s over 3,000 with 800’s on the Math SAT’s, and 3,100 valedictorians, all applying for a class of 1,640 or so.

There are regularly 10-11,000 applicants with 1,400 SAT scores, and amazingly, in some years, nearly 2/3 of the 1,600 scorers nationally apply to Harvard.

"Harvard always has more valedictorians applying than there are spaces in the class.:

I have not seen similar figures reported for Yale.
