I was reading a couple article from last year about the dramatic drop in acceptance rates and i got to thinking…I think the schools have stayed just as competitive, just the same students are working harder to get into the schools. If you were wanted to go to Harvard lets say 30 years ago, you wouldve put in the amount of work necessary 30 years, and if you wanted to go to harvard now…you would put in how much work you need now. Even though acceptance rates are dropping and stats are going up its all relative. Everyone is getting higher scores on their SATs, doing more ecs- to combat the drop in acceptance rates- applying to more colleges (which in it self drops the acceptance rates, since colleges are receiving more applicants).

This is just what i thought i was interested in what you guys had to say, so discuss :)
