Rule of thumb is the household names (HYS, Columbia, NYU, Berkeley, UCLA, Georgetown) get about 4x the applicants shown on here and the schools for the realheads (well regarded in legal profession, but not necessarily "elite" by lay prestige, e.g., Chicago, UVA) are closer to 3x the number shown on here

What do you project the total A vs LSD total A to be, given that LSD likely tends to students more likely to get into the school they target?
Albeit with some noise (e.g., I'm surprised Duke does not have a higher ratio given 1. reputation via sports etc. 2. in much of the South Duke is about as prestigious as it gets)

So say a school has a class size of 234 and yield of 34.9% while having 211 As on LSD, they are going to admit 700ish people to fill those 234 spots and that would mean about 500 of those As have been given out at this stage?
@QuixoticPowerfulAlligator: i also got an R like 30 minutes ago. I don't really take Rs that bad though the reason I applied to so many schools was because I know i wouldnt get into all of them

@manifestT14acceptances: reddit says you apply knowing you will get into all to make them do a scholarship bidding war
NB: These rules of thumb break down pretty quickly outside of the T20 or T30, applicants on here skew towards T14 and adjacent schools so data here is more limited for someone targeting a regional school ranked T50-T100
@TruthTheX: That could be true, but would involve a spike in their ratio if accurate. Given that's based on internal numbers, we'll know for sure once they post them or upload their next 529 report

Georgetown and Harvard probably get the most apps of all i would assume
@QuixoticPowerfulAlligator: its kinda funny you said that because i was about to say that its also kind of a blessing because im a little hesitant to want to go to school in nyc
