"Of the 26,498 applicants, 10,629 had a 4.0 grade point average, and 13,802 had scores of 2100 or higher on the three sections of the SAT. Among the high schools that rank their students, 97 percent of the admitted applicants are in the top 10 percent of their class. The pool included more than 8,750 high schools from more than 140 countries around the world."

-----------------

“We see a 37 percent increase in the number of students requesting a fee waiver, an indication of more applicants from low- and modest-income backgrounds.”

------------------

"Applicants will be able to check their admissions decision on our website on Thursday evening (EST), March 28, 2013."

note: this last college wins the cool factor by not specifying a time - signifying the type of candidates they are looking for - the chill kids that are happy with vague timelines than the compulsive ones that the first two are targeting Smile

ah...I know; the destination was this :
"Of the 26,498 applicants, 10,629 had a 4.0 grade point average, and
13,802 had scores of 2100 or higher on the three sections of the SAT.
Among the high schools that rank their students, 97 percent of the
admitted applicants are in the top 10 percent of their class. The pool
included more than 8,750 high schools from more than 140 countries
around the world"
