Making it harder to get into college is not what us poor little HS seniors need! Ack! It’s enough stress as it is. This year was the biggest applying class EVER. So acceptance rates at a lot of schools went down purely because of that.

Some schools have, I think, such tiny acceptance rates because so many people apply on a lark, to see “if” they will get in (ie Princeton, Yale), not because they actually want to go there. At least that is in my experience.

The small change in percentage may have something to do with the more creative application. Which was slightly daunting, but interesting.
