[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the schools have gotten crazy competitive this year. [b] I don't know exactly what is driving it.[/b] I'm guessing it's a number of factors. Supply and demand. I think the letter to the counselors is their way of saying that it isn't just the kids at one particular school, so don't feel singled out. The standards are tougher this year.[/quote] - Common App - Students chasing money = applying to more schools - Fear of missing out = applying to more schools - Don't know what they want to do = applying to more schools - Bragging rights = applying to more schools Bottom line: There aren't more students, overall, nor are the students smarter. The number of applications per student has probably gone way up, though, for the reasons listed above.[/quote]
