Analysis of Round 1 and Round 2 offer outcomes from GoCPS selection data for about 25,238 choice applicants. The report states 93 percent of Round 1 applicants received an offer at a ranked program, and by Round 2's end "94 percent of choice applicants had been offered a seat."
"For 51 percent of applicants, the offer was for their top-ranked program; 81 percent received an offer from one of their top-three ranked programs."
