[quote=Anonymous]1. The population of high school kids increased at a much higher rate than the number of seats in T30.
2. Financial aid, loans and free rides for low income kids dramatically increased bringing in a new population demographic. For schools bragging that 30% of incoming kids are FGLI, there are basically 1/3 fewer seats available for kids from the area/high school you grew up in 50 years ago.

4. Money from international students and nation state donations/funding surged the % of Chinese and Indian international students.
5. The growth of STEM and need to import educated doctors, researchers and engineers from India and China in the 90s onward introduced a new demographic of high scoring kids.[/quote]
