Probably one student would apply to more schools? So even though they had a ton of applications (each school would have seen a rise in # of applications), these schools are chasing down a fewer number of actual people.
When I was a student, I applied to 3 colleges (1 nearby, 2 far away), nowadays maybe students apply to 20 or 30?
- credit_guy 8y agoThis sounds like a reasonable explanation, but do colleges have transparency into who applied where nationwide? I would expect a college to know the absolute exact number of its own applicants/applications, but beyond that it should be only an educated guess, as long as the SAT is not in the business of selling everybody their data. But then, who knows, maybe the SAT is doing exactly that.
