[quote=Anonymous]I am confused by the numbers myself. Basically, you have roughly similar number of applicants for roughly similar numbers of spots (I understand that there are more foreign students these days, but that is still a relatively small number that at least partially balanced by the number of American students going abroad. Anyway, I understand that (1) kids are apply to more schools on average, so the admissions rates are lower. However, this seems to be more of numerical issue (the same kid should get into the same schools, but is applying to and getting rejected from more schools then in the past). I do think that kids/schools are preparing applications in view of previously admitted students (basically there are benchmarks to follow). It seems to create more pressure on the kids to keep up with the benchmarks, and additional pressures on the really smart kids to push up the benchmarks to try to distinguish themselves. [/quote]
