[quote=Anonymous]Far fewer applications were sent to colleges. Students had to write out each application and sometimes call up the school to even get one (if none was kept in the guidance counselor's office). There was no common application. For point of reference, Penn's acceptance rate was more than 40% in the early 1980's. A school like Boston College had a greater than 50% acceptance rate. Demographics at the high end have changed (more high achieving Asians to compete with high achieving white students). The advent of the internet made colleges much more visible. [/quote]
