[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While B students will be fine, please don’t compare the current college application and selection process to when you went to school. It’s completely different now. [/quote]

Why?  There are less 18 year olds than in past years.   And fewer applicants send in 5 times as many applications since online common applications  happened.

The extremely competitive schools only account for less than 5% of college students.

According to Pew Research the majority of colleges admit most applicants.  They looked at 1,364 four-year colleges and universities.  “   half of the schools in the sample (53.3%) admitted two-thirds or more of their applicants in 2017, including such well-known names as St. John’s University in New York (67.7%), Virginia Tech (70.1%), Quinnipiac University (73.9%), the University of Missouri at Columbia (78.1%) and George Mason University (81.3%).”

It’s said every year that it’s the hardest year yet but the truth is there is a college for anyone who wants to go.  It’s finding the one that’s best for the student and affordable that makes it hard.
