[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Common app caused statistical change. [/quote] This is true, but: [b]Same number of kids + same number of seats = equally difficult admission overall regardless of individual acceptance rates.[/b] This does not mean certain colleges, like ivies, have not gotten harder to get into; I think students work harder on academics than they did in my day, plus test prep etc which did not really exist in the stone ages... also as mentioned above common app means kids apply to more schools than they used to. And more kids want certain schools than they used to, because, well, it's really expensive so why not try. But overall it's the same as it ever was, and in fact a bit easier as the college age population has shrunk a bit. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/us-colleges-are-facing-a-demographic-and-existential_us_59511619e4b0326c0a8d09e9 These are facts.[/quote]
