[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MIT acceptance rate was 40% when I applied and was admitted. As a girl, it would have been higher too. I mean, I'm a middle aged lady but .. let's be clear that times have changed.[/quote] Now compare how many more applicants there are year after year. That's what has changed. People didn't used to apply to 25 schools. The application process has changed, the people haven't changed, but there are more of them. [/quote] It’s more than that. More applicants which results in more qualified applicants applying which results in more applicants than available seats. Add to that the insane college advisory business and a much more competitive atmosphere, and that’s how it’s different from years ago. The people have definitely changed. Kids creating nonprofits were almost unheard of and now are a dime a dozen. [/quote]
