Logically, this sentence doesn't make sense:


"The Admissions Committee reviewed over 1100 applications for the Fall 2011 incoming class, offering admission to about one applicant for every 10 places in the class."


http://tepper.cmu.edu/master-in-computational-finance/admissions/application-process/index.aspx


Obviously they are trying to say that they offered a place in the class to 1 out of every 10 applicants (i.e., they offered admission to 110 candidates out of 1100 applicants.)


But the way they have written the sentence, it is suggesting that if there were, say, 100 places in the class, then they would have only offered admission to 10 applicants ("offering admission to about one applicant for every 10 places in the class")


Obviously that webpage was written by someone who got well below 800V (or 170 NewV)...
