[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The change is that more people are aware of the "top" schools and are aspiring for them, so there's more competition for the ~50 schools that are deemed "the best." I grew up in a family that was into college prestige, but very few of my classmates were. Most people went to college within an hour or two of home. Ignore the hype and help your kid research schools that have what they genuinely need when it comes to academics and social life. Only a handful of colleges are actually selective, but they are the ones people obsess over, so it gives kids the impression that it's impossible to get into college. It isn't if you have an appropriate list and realistic expectations. [/quote] Most kids in this country still go to colleges near where they grew up. Get out of your bubble.[/quote]
