The numbers are in, and we can’t say we’re surprised.
“While these numbers may be shocking and discouraging to younger students with Ivy League aspirations, it’s important to note that these declining admissions rates do not necessarily indicate that it is becoming steadily harder to earn admission,” Rim continued, noting that these numbers could simply show that more and more students are applying as top schools loosen their application requirements and adopt test-optional policies.
“It’s thrilling and oh so emotional to see all those students dressed in their Ivy college-of-choice gear, screaming with excitement,” she said. “But I always wonder about the videos we don’t see — the 95-plus percent of students receiving disappointing news. The tears, the angry words, the disappointed parents who struggle to find the best words/action to comfort their children. I’m glad I don’t see those denial videos.” she continued.
Geographic diversity matters, too. “Many of the Ivies mentioned how they have students from all 50 states and also mentioned the number of countries,” she said. Now that the entire Ivy League remained ACT/SAT test-optional this year, even though most students are now able to test , applications have soared, commented Kopp Weingarten.
The college admissions pro is also seeing lots of colleges continuing to waitlist more students than their entire freshmen year class, “turning the waiting list into more of an ‘honorable mention’ award,” said Kopp Weingarten. “It’s going to be very difficult, percentage-wise, to get off of the waiting list.”was the only Ivy she saw that released their waiting list numbers in today’s announcements: “They admitted 1,433 students today, and they only placed 1, 145 students on their waiting list.
