[quote=Anonymous]Changes in demographics are not going to affect the well-known schools. There's a funneling effect going on, which is largely due to price. The top 25 or so private schools tend to be very good with financial aid so they are generally accessible for bright students from any income level - if they get in. And alternatively, the state flagships are usually the best deal for smart kids. And most state flagships have "honors" programs these days to make State U a desirable place for smart kids. The competition for these schools - top 25 and state flagships - is going to become more fierce in the years ahead. But there are more than 4000 colleges in the US. The changes in demographics are really going to impact the bottom 3000 schools. Many private liberal arts colleges will shut down. And there will be more consolidation in the state college systems. That doesn't mean it's going to get any easier to get into Duke or Michigan though. [/quote]
