Many Colleges Will Be Easier For Admission

Declining high school enrollment in many states over the next decade will lower admission standards. This will be especially true for second and third tier private schools. But regional 4 year public colleges in the midwest and mid Atlantic will be scrambling to maintain enrollment. This will send a signal to high school students that they do not need to work hard to get into 4 year colleges.  Consequently, we will need stronger messages and signals that the hard part is to complete college, not admission. I have written a lot about clear signals to students, so check out my biography at the top of this blog.
