[quote=Anonymous]Applications to UVA have jumped from about 21,500 applications 6 years ago to a record 37,500 this year http://uvaapplication.blogspot.com/. All the Ivys that have reported stats this year cite record numbers as well (for ex, Dartmouth http://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2018/02/college-receives-22005-total-applications). And a NESCAC college Bowdoin reports a 25% jump in applications just this year https://bowdoinorient.com/2018/01/26/number-of-applications-hits-all-time-high/. Flagship state universities report the same phenomenon: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2017/12/26/from-berkeley-to-gainesville-applications-surge-to-flagship-universities/?utm_term=.a533a25def0a. The US population of college age kids has been fairly stable and is set to decline in a few years. Intl applications are reported to be down this year. So what is really going on??? [/quote]
