How the class gets assembled.
Applicants, admits, and class seats use separate stage scales so Early Decision and all other rounds stay readable.
Each column is scaled within that stage. Labels show exact counts.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early Decision | 2,005 | 270 | 13% | 270 | Likely class seats assume ED admits enroll. |
| All other rounds | 11,260 | 676 | 6% | 237 | All other rounds are residual CDS totals, not exact Regular Decision. |
