Just share the text or the specific year/schools you’re asking about, and I’ll give you a precise breakdown.

However, the admission process is highly competitive and data-driven. At the center of this process are the . Understanding how these scores are calculated and what the historical trends look like is essential for setting realistic expectations during the application process.

Because admission is ranked purely by numerical score, the "cutoff" fluctuates every year based on the applicant pool. If the applicant pool is particularly strong one year, the cutoff score will rise. If fewer students apply or the pool is less competitive, the cutoff may lower.

(Note: Scores are approximations based on reported data from recent cycles. Tier-specific cutoffs are often significantly different.)
