Hello. I have a quick question regarding the discrepancy (if any) of acceptance rates between applications for the august entering class and the january entering class.

Which is more competitive?

jan is somewhat easier because most apply in aug. the school takes pains to insist the stats are about the same for each but there is less competition for jan.
