[quote=Anonymous]The US population has greatly increased in last 40 years. Add in international students are a much bigger thing than 40 years ago. Now consider we still have same amount of Ivy League schools That alone is main reason. More people applying so few acceptances. When I applied college in 1979. Entire application handwritten. I literally went to reference section of library to look up colleges and photocopy page of one’s interested. I call school to get sent application, hand write our application including writing a hand written essay each college. Then I get a check. Fill out envelope with stamp and go to post office. Time consuming so people applied way less schools. So we also have not only more people but with automation more people applying to schools. It also is bad as they now auto reject. Look at movie Legally Blonde they looked at individual applications. Today with bulk amounts coming in the applicant system auto rejects most of them. [/quote]
