[quote=Anonymous][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[/b] 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]

This is false.  In 2023 there were 1,244,476 distinct US applicants to US colleges and universities, which represents a HUGE increase.  There is also a massive increase in international applicants to US colleges and universities.
