[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure that applying to more schools creates a lower admission percentage. Each student can still only attend one school. If the trend is to apply to more, it will increase the number of applications that a school receives (denominator), but schools would need to offset this by accepting more students (numerator) in order to end up with the same number matriculating. The effect of this will be different at each school. Schools likely to be a first choice school for most applicants will not need to increase acceptances nearly as much as schools that are less likely to be a first choice. So this probably has artificially decreased the admit rate at a school like Harvard, but probably not at a school like GW (sorry Colonials). [/quote] An increase in applications surelyreduces the admissions percentage. But I don't think it makes schools any more difficult to enter - which must be your point. [/quote]
