Just a thought: we are in a recession and more people are applying to college since job prospects aren’t so great. Now I don’t think this should really affect Chicago admissions at all since the people who apply here probably didn’t consider working at kmart after high school. Still, do you think it would work in the applicant pool’s favor since there aren’t many people out there who are hesitant about paying for really expensive colleges in times like these.

Just clarifying, I hope students never have to turn away their dream schools for financial reasons. I just want to know how the economy affects college admissions at top schools like Chicago.
