[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Enrollments are up by 240% from 1965-1987 to now. There are just a lot more bodies looking for spots at those schools. Schools are limited by their physical plant and can't increase enrollment to meet that demand. Here are the numbers in a graphic format: https://www.statista.com/statistics/183995/us-college-enrollment-and-projections-in-public-and-private-institutions/[/quote] You don't see that we are in a big dip right now? You think people today are interested in how hard it is today vs 1985? Or more recently, when the other stats can be practically compared?[/quote] A lot of us moderately ancient parents went to college around 1985 through 1995. For us, that's the frame of reference, not what happened in 2005, or 2015. [/quote] Funny how today is what matters to most people. Especially those applying or with kids applying. Tell more more about 5 cent candy bars and George Mikan's deadly set-shot. And what a hottie Theda Bara was![/quote] Of course, but many of us parents are always trying do mental conversions between our world admissions and kid world admissions.[/quote]
