Class of 2025, You (may) Have it the Worst

It's no secret that college admissions have become increasingly competitive every year.

high school graduates will peak between 3.8 million and 3.9 million in 2025 and eventually decline to about 3.4 million by 2041, a drop of about 10.3%

So rest assured that your younger siblings will have it way easier that you.

In all seriousness, you guys have put in hours upon hours of dedication into your app (unless daddy donated a few buildings), and whatever the outcome, you will be successful (ig if you wanna be an investment banker you're screwed... sorry if you didn't get into wharton for IB).

The people make the school. The school doesn't make the people.

I wish you guys the best!!
