emubird Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 http://minnesota.publicradio.org/features/npr.php?id=135578897 "It's a time of high anxiety for high school seniors. Students across the country have been finding out where they got in to college and where they didn't. For many applying to the most selective schools, the news is not good. While the number of applications has shot up, acceptance rates have hit historic lows. It's been called, "application inflation." Michele Norris talks with Bloomberg News' higher education reporter Janet Lorin about college admissions and "application inflation."" Not sure this is any big surprise. Colleges are encouraging more and more applications, students are feeling they have to apply to more colleges as acceptance rates drop because there are more applications to each college.
