A lot self-select out & don't apply.

Yep. This is a big factor. Pretty much everyone knows how hard it is to get

I wonder if that will change under the new "wholistic" (i.e., random) approach

I bet you the top quartile of applicants get in at about a 98% clip

That used to be true, but isn't anymore (as far as I know).

Higher than that. Last year it was 65%

Not #1 many years, but always in the top 5 nationally for yield.
