[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is going to Georgetown and I remember thinking, wow, it is harder to get into Georgetown today (12% acceptance rate) than it was to get into Harvard in 1987 (the year I applied). Back then, I think the Harvard acceptance rate was around 16%. None of us would ever get into our alma maters today, folks....![/quote] If you were applying today, you would apply to over 3X as many schools, your high school GPA would be significantly higher due to grade inflation, your high school class rank would be much less likely to be submitted and considered, and your SAT score would be much higher due to recentering and greater access to test prep.
