[quote=Anonymous]But the interesting (and unknowable) factor is how many of these schools are admitting the same students. The more that every student applies to more and more reach, match, and safety schools, it seems to me that more and more will end up getting admitted to the same schools. But they can only attend one. So, maybe the schools are not not actually getting more selective it’s just that more applicants are applying. For example, if previously kids only applied to two “top” schools and now are applying to all 10 or 20 or whatever the school will seem more selective, but in fact you just end up with more randomness which leads to more applications the following year. And so the vicious circle continues. There’s probably a math answer to this but I can’t be bothered to figure it out. [/quote]
