[quote=Anonymous]If by earlier generation you mean up to the mid 1970s, college admissions was very different in those days and far less competitive, even at the Ivies. Many schools we now consider top notch colleges had much more flexible admissions and frequently accepted last minute applications if there was space available. The idea that you could call up in August, say I'm interested, dispatch your stats, and get an offer in the next few days was definitely doable at many schools. [quote=Anonymous]Was being Catholic a more important factor in the 80s? One of my relatives went to Georgetown in an earlier generation. Changed his mind about the college he'd enrolled in. Applied in August for that fall. Got in and went.[/quote][/quote]
