[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Positive thinking is good, I suppose. Who knows what the landscape will look like when today's kindergartner's go to college. When my kids were young they were saying that things would be less competitive by now. They're more competitive than ever. But I think you're going to be surprised that the elite schools in particular are much tougher to crack then they used to be. [/quote] I know these numbers aren't ideal (instate vs outstate, total enrollment, etc.), but look at a place like UVA undergrad. 1990 total enrollment is ~11,300 2014 total enrollment is ~15,400 VA population 1990 is ~ 6.2m VA population 2014 is ~ 8.3m Expected 2014 enrollment based on 1990 rates is ~15,100 so basically UVA stayed the same or got slightly bigger than the rate of growth of VA. Again, rough numbers because of instate/outstate and all that jazz but it is just as easy/hard to get admitted in 1990 vs 2014. Now paying for it is a different matter..[/quote]
