The applied/admit numbers for 2019 - Confirms how competitive the cycle was

Isn’t all this assuming that number of applicants is either the same or up for fall of 2019? I have heard that there are fewer kids nationally applying to college this year in general – just a generational thing.

My father graduated from HS in 1984, and he said it was briefly easier to get into Elite colleges at that time b/c the Baby Boomers had already gone through and colleges were suddenly faced with fewer applications than they had in the 1970s. I just heard that some schools are seeing the same thing this year, as fewer millennials are out there with HS seniors dropping in number…

This is what happened the past two years.

The population in Texas is increasing. TAMU saw thousands more applicants in 2019 compared to 2018.
