When I applied to college (back in 1991), Chicago and Michigan accepted 50% and 60% of their applicants respectively. Now, they accept 30% and 40% respectively. Cal, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, Northwestern and Penn all iused to accept 35%-40% of their applicants. Today, they all accept 10%-25% of their applicants. Elite colleges do not grow nearly as fast as the demand for them.
