Ivy League Schools Post Record Low Acceptance Rates for '06
"Ivy League Applicant Pools Go Up – And Acceptance Rates Go Down"
from All Star Essays - April 4, 2006
As the saying goes, 'What goes up, must come down.'
When what goes up is the number of applications to a particular school, what comes down has to be the school's acceptance rate. That's because the number of incoming freshmen that most schools can accommodate stays flat even when their applicant pool grows.
This is exactly what happened with 2006 Ivy League admissions.
All eight of the Ivy League schools have released their 2006 admission numbers. With the exception of Harvard, all of them noted significant increases in their applicant pools and significant decreases in their acceptance rates.
