[quote=Anonymous]I'd be curious about whether it's truly gotten any harder to get into college, or if these lower percentages mostly just reflect students firing off more applications. If the average student launches 8 applications rather than 4, that has the effect of creating more total apps and lowering the admit rates for colleges. But ultimately, those students can each attend only one college. I get that there are some foreign applicants, but is the number big enough to make a statistical difference in the total number of applicants?[/quote]
