Application Volume Grew Again in 2005
More applications than ever were submitted to US colleges and universities during the 2005-2006 application season, according to the National Association for College Admission Counseling's annual report on college admissions.
73 per cent of colleges and universities reported receiving more applications than they had the previous year, continuing a trend that began in the late 1990s. This growth is driven by both a larger applicant pool and by an increase in the number of students who apply to multiple institutions.
Another admissions trend noted in the NACAC report is continuing growth in the number of college applications submitted online. 53 per cent of college applications were submitted online in 2005, compared to 47 per cent in 2004 and 35 per cent in 2003.
