omg, i was thinking the same thing!

adalfu · Answer

I just want to also point out that everything is relative. "Easier" when compared to 2008, or 2009... but the longer-term trend (admit rates) is definitely tougher (lower).

jordanhendrix · Answer

^^^Not so,this article shows that certain school's acceptance rates have gone up for a number of reasons. # of applicants and increase in class size being the two main things.
But as always is the case, this doesn't hold true for every school. So you're right

adalfu · Answer

Yeah, like what the article says... doesn't really apply to the HSW. All the "ultra elites" will still have competitive admit rates.
