New to these codes? What GM category means. “Most competitive” is the tightest closing rank for that branch in this category and the college it belongs to; “widest” is the loosest. Final round per seat, so an earlier round’s tighter rank never overstates how hard a seat is to get. Branches offered by fewer than three colleges are left out rather than shown as a range of one.
