@MomOutWest Stanford is embarrassed by their <4% acceptance rate for this very reason. They are planning on changing their admission policy (no more common app) to reduce the number of applications. Some bubble is going to burst. Whether it is the common application drain on the entire system, the tuition costs, the economy … time will tell. I saw a segment on the national news about colleges eliminating degrees that don’t place in specific careers, like art and English degrees. I would suspect that has more to do with the enormous debt that an English major carries comparable to a Chemical Engineer or an Accountant at the same school, yet the ability to pay back that debt is prohibitive for the English major.
