[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](HYPSM) Even if they are as intelligent and hard-working as I was? Acceptancd rates are halved from 10% when I applied to 5% now. Can you remind me why that is? Sorry, I’ve been out of college for 15 years and now have ES kids and don’t understand why it is so much more competitive all of a sudden.[/quote] 1) general population growth, there are simply more applicants from the US 2) more international applicants 3) the number of seats/beds at the schools have remained the same add to it 4) common app - easier to apply 5) more diverse applicants, with priority on diversity and first generation applicants 6) grade inflation - more "A" students who think they are viable applicants 7) test optional/numbers inflation...what was a 1500 in 1085 or 1995 is not the same as it is now, many more test takers are scoring higher, and that is if they even submit scores [/quote]
