It’s an arms race. Now that students are encourage to apply to huge numbers of universities for safety, the universities are forced to accept a smaller percentage of applicants to avoid overcommitting.
So student, parents, and counselors see this and tell everyone to apply to even more colleges and the cycle continues.
