[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach at a not very selective private college and applications are down by a staggering number. It is alarming. I hope that we see more students when they aren't admitted where they thought they would be, but not counting on it.[/quote]

Obviously I don't know your school but these are the colleges that I am rooting for. The uber selective ones wiill always have students and most of these students would do great no matter where they attend due to family advantage. The less selective schools are more important to our society to provide post secondary education to our future workforce. [/quote]

Not sure which one you teach at but many will fold. There are few people who have 50-80k a year to spend on a non elite university![/quote]

this. Once you exit the elite schools and the SLACs where parents are willing to buy the experience, it starts to become more and more of a value proposition and a generic not very selective private university has to justify their price vs. a generic third tier in state university and that's a hard thing to do.
