<p>I don't think this is all about the Ivies. I think that the admit rate percentages are dropping at many other schools. Someone mentioned Swarthmore and Barnard here, and I know Middlebury's dropped this year, too. We'll get a better picture when more numbers come out.</p>
<p>This is my first year on CC, but it seems like a lot of kids are posting about getting rejections/waitlists from a lot of schools -- and a handful seem to be getting into a lot of schools. Is this typical? It's quite depressing to browse the College Admissions section -- lots of unhappy, desperate kids. </p>
<p>I am not looking forward to next year!</p>
