I suspect some of this may be due to multiple applications. It seems that most of the top schools get about 1000 applications and accept about 20-30. If you’re like most MT hopefuls, you will apply to all or most of the top schools plus a safety school or two. That means many, many duplicate applications. Put simply: the same 1000 applicants, give or take a couple of hundred, are applying to each school. So if there are (to keep the math simple) 15 top schools, each accepting 20-30 applicants, that means that 30-45% of the applicant pool will get into at least one of the top schools. Not so scary when you think of it that way.
