2016 College Admission Rates #college #admissions
High school seniors across the United States received their final notifications from colleges this past week. They now have until May 1 to determine which college acceptance is the right fit. Various articles here, here and here indicate that more students applied to college this year than last, which is good. However, most colleges have not increased their admissions, so that means more students may not be able to attend a 4-year college or university.
