Does that matter?  We apply when we are 100% ready.    Why tell us what the median stats are at any school?  Half of all matriculants are below those numbers.  Do they matter? Yeah, maybe as a first time or reapplicant, the numbers matter if they differ.  BTW, your reference to gap years is a non sequitur.  OP used it as an example of yet something else that doesn't matter that you experts make widely available to us.  Nobody was asking how common gap years are, or whether they are becoming more so.   <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite196" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
