Just like Airlines have to fill bums on seats, so too do Universities. No matter what games they play in managing yield (by manipulating number of admits to number waitlisted for example), the hard number is #applicants and #enrolled for the fixed number of seats they have.

So how many applicants chasing each seat at the top 35 universities and Top4 LACs in USNWR? (Data is from CDS, and is #Applicants divide by #Enrolled, and ranked from most number of applicants per seat to least). This is a glimpse of what applicants are chasing.
[b]For every seat available, there are this many applicants trying to obtain it[/b]

Obviously this is University-wide data and does not reflect demand for specific majors like CS for example. CDS data is latest published by the University (most are 2023-24, some are 2022-23 and the rare one is 2021-22)[/quote]

Purposefully left out Wisconsin[/quote]
