<p>will it be easier to get accpeted to private colleges next year? but be harder to get scholarships?</p>
<p>while public be much harder with people having less money and budget cuts.</p>
<p>for example in ca, it's going to be super hard to get into UCs and cal states,
but easier to get into schools like USD, chapman, redlands, usf, santa clara, pepperdine if you have the money to pay for it...</p>
<p>it that correct? and how much is it going to be easier / harder if i am corrrect?</p>
<p>The lower the rank of the private in general, assuming the school is need aware which most are, the bigger the plus if you can pay in full right now.</p>
<p>it will be harder to get in everywhere...</p>
<p>I think it will be the same for top schools because even though the applicants have risen slightly, the yield will probably be a bit lower, and the colleges know this. Less-known privates should be somewhat easier to get in.</p>
<p>"Less-known privates should be somewhat easier to get in."</p>

<p>i know usc ivys etc.. will be the same.</p>
<p>but like the ones i listed, usd, chapman, pepperdine, santa clara, usf, redlands, u miami, occidental, lmu, pugent sound</p>
<p>will those be easier to get into? yea examples would be nice. and how much easier?</p>
<p>any more input? thanks guys?</p>
<p>This is the worst economic downturn since the 1930's, so on one knows for sure. An educated guess is that the schools that have lower cost competitors will be affected. So schools like USD, Redlands, Chapman and SC, which also get a lot of applicants that apply to UC's could well be impacted. Yet with the budget cuts and issues at UC's, people still may stretch for the privates where they can. So we won't really know until September what the true fall out is because there is always some summer attrition.</p>
<p>At the top colleges with great financial aid applications are up and they are unlikely to be impacted.</p>
