How to read this
- Exactly 25 points. Wyoming also publishes pooled "fewer than 25" rows. Those describe a group, not a point level someone holds, so they are not shown here — the per-area pages carry them in full.
- 100% does not mean easy next year. It means everyone at this level drew in that year. Quotas and applicant numbers move.
- Applicants are first-choice only, so competition was higher than these counts suggest.
- We do not forecast. These are observed results. What 25 points will draw next year is not something anyone can honestly tell you.
