<p>Is next year supposed to be the most competetive year in college admissions?</p>
<p>i think its this year, 06-07. thats what i remember hearing although i may be wrong.</p>
<p>too many people were born in 1989. Ugh</p>
<p>I don't know about overall, but this is the most competitive graduating class our school has had in a LONG time.</p>
<p>I generally agree with the first poster.</p>
<p>This will be the most competitive year yet for schools that just started accepting the Common App (Caltech, Penn, Northwestern, etc).</p>
<p>What about the highschool class of 2011? Is that year competitive?</p>
<p>are you telling me you're going into 8th grade?</p>
<p>its hard to say which is the most competitive year exactly, but this certainly is the most competitive era for sure.</p>
<p>1987--1989: Too many people were born during this period of time. After 1990, the number began to decrease. So I guess this year IS the most competitive. :/</p>
<p>Although supposedly while the quantity of high school students will decrease, the dropout rates will continue to decrease and the average competency of each candidate will increase.</p>
<p>I have read that the high school class of 2008 is the largest with 2009 a very close second. It then slowly drops.</p>
<p>For our school...the classes just keep getting bigger and bigger. Each incoming class is getting bigger and bigger. I also think that more people are starting to care about college because it has become of such importance. So each year should be getting more and more competitive.</p>
<p>class of 06 at my hs was insane,fillled up with 4.0uw and heavily inflated gpa's. It seems class of 07 is slightly less competitive at my school.</p>
