<p>What, are you serious? Are current sophomores gonna have it easier than you guys?</p>
<p>Supposedly yes, current sophomores (and freshmen and everyone else) should have it easier than us. Because as terrifying as the application boom for this years senior is, it is supposedly supposed to start going back down after us. So chances are we'll have it harder than this years seniors, and you'll have it just about as hard. (Theoretically, but it's unpredictable imho)</p>
<p>Well, there's always state school. ;)</p>
<p>For me, the most terrifying thing is that the class of '09 for our school is insanely smart. They had to make more AP/honors classes just to fit all the people who wanted to take it, and not as many people have dropped out, either.</p>
<p>And then add that to decreasing admittance...</p>
<p>Yeah... I'm pretty sure my class will have a record number of Merit Semifinalists. Which is not saying much considering that it's my school... But still.</p>
<p>i've read on U.S. News and World Reports that one school had 158 out 432 students as semifinalists. One can only imagine the number of commended students they have. Holy ****</p>
<p>yeah, i am a bit nervous about next year. :)</p>
<p>D-Yu, that's nothing...some specialized high schools can have almost 100% merit commended or semi...my dad said that when he went to Regis, there was only 1 kid out of 160 who wasn't commended or semi</p>
<p>^^ Wow. I sure feel sorry for that kid...</p>

<p>Um, actually I am. I suppose lobbying is a more specific term.</p>
<p>the magazine said that the school was public, not specialized</p>
<p>don't be bothered about all these "record admissions" stories. I got them 2 years ago when I applied to colleges as well. I don't know why I'm in this forum, though.</p>
