<p>Parade magazine has a blurb re: college admissions and states that there are 800,000 more applicates from 10 years ago.</p>
<p>Any business with that many additional customers is sure to raise costs in excess of inflation- unless a real competitor entires the market</p>
<p>applications or applicants? Very different things.</p>
<p>I will have to go back to the article but I believe it was applicants</p>
<p>My mistake- here is what it says “Their kids are driving up the number of college applicants, with 800,000 more high school graduates than a decade ago.”
For some reason I initially read 800,000 more applicants.</p>
