<p>Where do you think those sites got the numbers, and from when do they date? I know these sites, and they just cut and paste press releases they find on the web. These early press releases are seldom accurate. First, they are based on preliminary app numbers - inflated by apps that are later withdrawn or incomplete, and second, the admit numbers do not take into account either “summer melt” or the extent to which the final matriculation total was altered by backfilling from the waitlist.</p>
