[quote=Anonymous]It is harder to get into the top schools. There is so much grade inflation and test optional has run amok. Every average kid thinks they have a shot now, but they don't. In the age of social media, it is harder to ignore the stress of the process. There is more economic uncertainty and families are obsessed with a good school to get a good job. However, I know plenty of kids who did just fine going to an average school. It is more about if you have the drive and know how to succeed in a work environment. There are plenty of people who are book smart but lack life skills and can barely hack a job. However, a lot of colleges are closing as the population of teens will fall over the next decade. Schools will try to make up for it with international students but it will continue to be a widening gap between the top schools and those that have falling enrollments and are located in less desirable locations.[/quote]
