Way more applicants?

[Guest]

Definitely a record number of apllicants this year at our institution. And we usually get a lot of applicants.

For residency, or sub-i's?  Not totally clear in the context of the rest of this thread.

We try to squeeze ideally all those who apply, but inevitably a few get rejected due to over application for a specific month, in which case we select those with the highest average score.

Thanks! Makes sense, essentially the same process as is used for rank lists. On average, what would you all say is the number of sub-I's at an institution per cycle? I'm guessing 3-5/month for July-September = 9-15 total sub-I's/cycle? I'm sure there is variability (I've heard some popular programs can have 25+ Sub-Is/cycle) but, on average, I can't imagine an institution being able to accommodate more than 3-5/month.

they don't care about school tier!!!

Yes we do, just not much.

Like how many for this application cycle?  >300?

I feel like people applied to so many programs this year.  And so many people did so many sub Is.
