<p>Admissions' Statistics</p>
<p>Since this subject interests most posters, I'd like to create a "quasi official" list of the historical admissions' numbers for the Ivy League schools. </p>
<p>If you have numbers for 2005 and prior years, please post the information for YOUR school here. Make sure to quote the source of your information. At a later date, I will reduce the information into one comprehensive post. </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
