I was using 100 as an absolute maximum, and incredibly unlikely number; using hyperbole to illustrate my point. Note where I said “I would be surprised if it were that many.”

I have no idea, and neither do you, how many QuestBridge applicants MIT will accept. I was merely making the point that they are unlikely to admit enough that it will skew the numbers in terms of the percentage of non-QuestBridge EA applicants admitted.
