Decrease in application rates

<p>The HS class population does not increase 4-6% a year; it deals mainly with people learning more about the college process and applying to more schools per person per year. Back then people applied to 3 or 4 schools but now-a-days its more like 13 or 14. That’s why the admissions processes to top schools are getting harder and harder because they have to deal with not only more applicants but the possibility that people are going to go elsewhere more often.</p>
