[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And the other issue is that top students are applying to more colleges now than they did in 2013, and 2003, and 1993...So you are competing with the top .1% at elite schools over and over.[/quote] No. Every student can attend only one college. The top schools don't lose out because they competed for the same top students. Only lower ranked schools lose out. The top slots fill up, and it's the same (or a higher number) for a declining number of applicants, so from an applicant's perspective the required relative standing has become lower. Seems counterintuitive (especially given the impression that absolute standards have risen), but is undoubtedly true. The number of applications sent out also has nothing to do with it, for the same reason that a student can attend only one school. [/quote]
