The five sign-in clubs saw only minor fluctuations in first-round membership numbers this year. As in previous years, Charter was the only one to fill to capacity in the first round of sign-ins, offering membership to 100 sophomores.

Now in the second year of its point system, Charter accepted 100 of 144 sophomores in the first round, but discontinued its wait-list policy. 

The University received a total of 26,663 applications to the Class of 2016, as announced in a press release last week, marking a 1.93- percent decrease in the total number of applications over last year’s numbers. Last year’s regular admission applications totaled 27,189.

This year’s total includes the 3,476 applications received in November for the single-choice early action program, which was reinstated in 2011.
