<p>Sorry, I should have written that earlier. The 2003 numbers are from [this</a> story in the Tech](<a href=“http://www-tech.mit.edu/V123/N12/12gradadmis.12n.html]this”>http://www-tech.mit.edu/V123/N12/12gradadmis.12n.html).</p>
<p>I thought I remembered seeing a number last year – that 2100 students applied for 100 spots, i.e. that ~150-200 students were admitted from 2100 applications – but I can’t find the source of that number, so I feel the Tech numbers are at least marginally more reliable.</p>
