Here are some interesting statistics regarding number of applications that were actually reviewed by a committee. Note that only a dozen of schools claims to have examined all of the applications. Note also that about 1/3 of the schools examined less that 1/2 of the applicats. The low number of applications reviewed suggest that those schools do have a system in place that eliminates applications based on unknown/unspecified criteria.

Very interesting! I recall when I interviewed at UT-San Antonio back in the day, they talked about using their own formula to determine who makes it through their first round of cuts. It was like your GPA/DAT x TBD factor # and if the number was above 600 then you were considered. Goes to show that GPA and DAT play a big role as usual.
