Incorrect - in discussing with admissions team they rank order the applicants based on their criteria (grades, SAT, and rigor of curriculum) and admit in a rolling basis from top of list down until they hit their capacity. So while the cutoffs vary year by year, if your scores are top scores you WILL get admitted (e.g, you cannot get any higher than a perfect GPA and a 1600 SAT.) They extended the SAT optional policy for this year, but expect it to be back next year according to most.
They will even admit in tranches at different times in the year. So if you are a top applicant you will find out earlier (early Jan) while those on the margin have to wait.
