[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the criticism. Parents (like me) in their early 40’s…. College admissions is completely different now. For example UPenn has almost 60,000 applications now. Penn’s acceptance rate in the late 90’s was over 20%. Now it’s single digits. And this data is self-reported so not entirely accurate especially with the rise of common app and test-optional admissions which greatly increased application numbers at many top schools.[/quote] The common app changed so much. I’m mid 30s and it was normal for people to apply to 3-5 colleges- maybe one reach school then mostly realistic options and a safety. UMC kids in APS regularly apply to 10+ colleges- with lots of teaches because why not?[/quote]
