[quote=Anonymous]If it makes anyone feel better, we are at a school that is not one of the main ones discussed but our enrollment director shared a graph showing that applications have grown almost every year recently. The number of applications are at least 50% more than they were 7 years ago. I know people joke about applications "always" being higher but I think there is some truth to it. The conversations about schooling, teacher burnout, ineffective curriculum, staffing issues, over testing, and drugs and bullying in the bathrooms are hitting at the same time when private schools have expanded bus/after care/financial aid. Schools are tapping talent/revenue streams in new ways and every time they are able to take stronger applicants that meet their mission the more appealing the school is for future applicants.
