<p>That day will come. And WE thought we had it bad this year. Hehe.
Good luck to you all!</p>
<p>I think admissions is cyclic, so it will get easier at some point, but it will never get to a point where all you have to do is fill out an application to get accepted to Harvard, providing you have the right connections (like it was many years ago). It will get easier for a few years after next year and then it’ll get much harder after another few years.</p>
<p>Yeah things will get better after next year. Sigh… born in the wrong era</p>
<p>I agree, I don’t think it will ever get to a point where a student’s GPA will be higher than the admissions rate at a school. There will be a point when asmissions will get easier. Like phonyreal98 said, admissions are cyclic.</p>
<p>Just check the amount of births and add 18 to find years where it’s gonna suck to apply to college.</p>
<p>Ahaha, I completely missed the “2020” and went “WHAT THE HOLY F%CK ARE YOU SERIOUS.”</p>
<p>And then I realized no one in the other posts was freaking out, so I calmly reread the original.</p>
<p>@Skramata - Haha, same here. I thought it was some article or something until I opened the thread. =X</p>
<p>^That is what I thought at first as well. I thought it was an actual article.</p>
<p>I’m assuming GPAs on a 4.0 scale haha I was going to say most schools already have an acceptance rate lower than 92%</p>
<p>it completely depends on how many people are born each year. we’re the kids of the baby boomers - there are a LOT of us.</p>
<p>Could someone put a link to an article or something w/ data about # of students per grad yr and its effect on admissions?</p>
<p>tricky tricky JDorian.</p>
<p>Actually, 1990 was the peak year for the baby boom thing.</p>
<p>it will happen one day…i dont think as early as 2020 tho…</p>
<p>I’m not sure if it will get that drastic. If anything, new schools will be built to hold the larger number of students.</p>
<p>^ prbly would at prestigious places like hyp</p>
