[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another aspect: Foreign students are often wealthy and pay full tuition. Schools know that. Admissions for foreign students are not need blind. It's troubling ... why should tax exempt institutions short-change the offspring of taxpaying citizens? (I probably sound like a lunatic right winger. I'm the opposite of that!) 21:01 Everyone I know who went to highly selective schools in the 80s knows the acceptance rates were might higher.[/quote Having just been through the college applications process with a DC who wanted engineering, they were rejected from many schools that naviance claimed they would have no trouble getting into. Very distressing for DC. The other point the article did little to expand was the huge marketing programs that many of the these schools do to get kids to apply thinking they have a chance. The schools are spending money so they can get their acceptance rates down and look more prestigious. [/quote]
