<p>Great to see, though I would agree with @moliss, in general.</p>
<p>Just as a point of information a propos nothing, I understand that this year MIT changed the way it calculates number of applicants, thus admit % increased. It is standard practice to count all those who started an application as “applicants”: that is what all schools do. This year, MIT switched the calculations. Now, they only count fully completed on-time received applications as “applicants.” Thus the numbers skew a bit.</p>
