Read more from the Daily Northwestern (the campus newspaper).
If Northwestern, already considered a highly selective school, becomes an even more highly selective school, what does that mean for those "selective" schools that want to become highly selective?
Rather than explain the logic trail here, just trust me that more kids applying to more places, with the place budgeting for only slight increases in enrollment, means that, well, less kids will get accepted. Even though the same amount of kids will go to college, the batting average will be collectively lower.
