Nearly 35,000 applications for the Class of '15.

<p>

Top-stats (SAT, rank, etc.) are norm (say 80% of the admittees) and low-stat ‘subjective or personal quality, non-hook’ admittees are exceptions (say 20% of the admittees).

</p>

<p>Counting the Class2014 Acceptees for where the class rank is posted/known, and counting the non-valedictorian acceptees only if they are non-hook types (no URM, no Athlete, etc.): out of the first 11 acceptees posted in CC (with class rank): 7 Valedictorians and 4 nones (ranks 2, 8, 12, 10, respectively). ==> So, I exagerated a bit when I said 80-20. Maybe the split is 70-30 between Class Rank#1 and the rest.</p>

<p>@Jimmy, the rank is probably more important than SATs, as long as the SAT score is high enough (2150+ and other test scores also. You can clearly separate the acceptees into groups based on their class rank though.</p>
