4 times the amount of applications this year?

<p>My friend got WLed, and his letter noted that Hamilton had 4X the amount of applications this year than last year, and that they only admitted something like the top 9% of applicants. Anyone else hear of this?</p>

<p>It sounds kind of absurd!</p>

<p>I agree!! Their website noted an increase of only 16%- still an impressive number, but not like what they're claiming by any stretch.</p>

<p>It is absurd. I think.</p>
