    https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2024/11/18/college-acceptance-rates-easier-to-get-in/

    ... enrollment in colleges and universities continues to decline — down by more than 2 million students, or 10 percent, in the 10 years ending 2022 ...

    The median acceptance rate at bachelor’s degree-granting universities and colleges was 7.6 percentage points higher in 2022 than it was in 2012, ...

    Anyone still has kids in K-12 that would still have to worry about college admission?

      I guess this makes sense from a market perspective. It seems intuitive admissions would get easier when the entire system is waning.

        How parents' income correlate to students' admission chances when the test scores are the same:

        Still very good to be very rich.
        Some college admission advantage for being poor/lower income (when test scores are the same).
        Some college admission disadvantage for being upper-middle class or just only a little bit rich (when test scores are the same).
