[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing wrong with Paterno State. The reality is a lot of today's parents of teenagers would have a tough time being accepted to their alma mater, Ivy or otherwise. College admissions at the top 50 to 100 colleges and universities are far more competitive (and with generally much bigger applicant pools) than was the case 20 to 30 years ago.[/quote] But why? Is it because [b]kids apply to more schools? [/b] The Baby Boomers were a huge group back in the 70s going through the process.[/quote] More kids filing more applications. Thanks to the Common App a kid can now file 8-12 applications, so long as you're willing to lay out $80 per app.[/quote] Way more kids go to college these days. A lot more. Fewer kids going straight to work from high school which used to be a viable option thirty years ago when we had manufacturing and more trades. [/quote]
