Don't know why we have two threads going for this topic. But just to clear up some confusion:
The press release of Nov. 2 said that 34,859 people applied
this year, 2001, for entrance in 2002 . The 38,000 number is approximately correct for last year's (year 2000's) applicants for entrance in 2001. The actual number was 37,092.
I was wrong about their being 6000 fewer applications this year. I was repeating a recently posted rumor. From the above figures you can see that approximately 2000 fewer people applied this year. Darn!
A 16% drop sounded so much better than 6%!
