I should just note that the data above is from 2013 only. It says nothing about trends...

What about the distribution of applicants in each discipline?
This is quick and dirty, but here it is. (Obviously, ignore the first line in each category). Also, props to dcampos6398 for the graphic.

In my desire for information, I resorted to the data from last years awards. Just thought some of you would be interested in this:
