Multiplier is the early acceptance rate divided by the regular one. A blank means the university does not publish the split, or has no early plan at all — that absence is itself information and is recorded rather than estimated. All-in figures convert tuition and living costs to US dollars at S$1 ≈ $0.78, C$1 ≈ $0.73, £1 ≈ $1.34, €1 ≈ $1.16, A$1 ≈ $0.66.
