<p>many people say that U.S's bad economy state right now is making admissions more tighter and competitive... is this really true?.....</p>
<p>My opinion is that we won't really know for sure until after April 1. In my heart, I believe that some schools (but not all), may start looking more closely than ever before at that question "Do you plan to apply for financial aid?".</p>
<p>I would say that state schools are becoming wayyyyy more competitve for sure.</p>
