<p>@JamesIG: It seems to be the number of APPLICANTS that is precisely the most difficult information to find. I was admitted this semester (1st midterm down! 4 to go! woohooo! so tired . . .) and I know that our full admitted Spring '11 class was around 100-110 people. Obviously the Fall admits constitute a much larger class. But the application pool size remains a mystery.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if you’ve seen this:
[Statistics</a> & Facts | Columbia University in the City of New York](<a href=“http://www.columbia.edu/content/statistics-facts.html]Statistics”>Statistics and Facts | Columbia University in the City of New York)
But here you can find lots of moderately interesting statistical data about school headcounts, majors, etc. However, admissions-specific statistics are still absent for GS.</p>
