[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More kids applying to universities altogether + population growth in general = more kids getting denied. So these kids will look elswhere: Tenn Knoxville, Clemson, U of So Carolina, Alabama, etc…. I see it as just basic math. VA in-state kids will probably apply to the usuals UVA, W&M, VT. If they are denied, they just look for similar style campuses out of state. If they offer lots of aid, even better. I think many are looking for prestige, but the “vibe” is also important. [/quote] There are fewer kids applying to colleges but fewer stable schools and fewer schools where the net cost seems to be worth it. So, there are more applicants per appeal, high-perceived-value college opening. But a lot of schools are desperate for tuition-paying bodies and will take any kid who will pay a significant percentage of the tuition bill. [/quote]
