<p>Top universities will probably continue to get their slice of the pie. If a flagship doesn’t want to lose selectivity, then it can hustle more and draw more of the applicants that are currently only applying to regional publics. Believe me, they are out there–there are top kids that for whatever reason don’t apply to the flagship, but would with the right encouragement or incentives. Flagships can waive application fees or beef up recruiting or whatever, and go after the students they’d previously been letting get by them. Less-selective publics (non-flagships) may be the most affected, because the flagships will poach their best prospects.</p>
