<p>I'm not an applicant (yet), but as I've been snooping around in threads from multiple schools, I've seen this type of thread come up a lot. I do realize that there's already a thread for the class of 2017, however, there is not a thread (that I've seen) that is completely dedicated to the stats of applicants. As a junior, i would really appreciate any information that could be thrown my way. Thanks! :) )</p>
