Reply to "UPenn had a 47% acceptance rate for the Class of '95, it's not that much of a flex to be a legacy."

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t this pretty much the case for most colleges that acceptance rates were higher back when us parents attended as compared to the lower acceptance rates for current students? The entire college admissions landscape is different for this generation.[/quote] Of course. The Ivies only started admitting women in the late 1960s-early 1980s. So men weren't competing against half the population, and you see admissions rates drop when women started to apply. And now with the Internet, it's so much easier to apply to a college across the country or across the world. You're not looking at colleges that are only within driving range anymore. That's driven competition up a ton at elite colleges.[/quote]
