while many state systems are dumbing down, the elite private schools (And the elite state ones as well) are getting more and more exclusive. Basically the top ten Private universities and small colleges are crap shoots for admission, the upper middle class gives their children such opportunity now, that they are all superbly qualified. Basically any school on the US News top 25, for small colleges (which is what I know, I even went to one) are so much harder to get into than a decade age. in '93, applying to colleges, I got into 5 of the top 20, now, with the same pedigree, I'd be lucky to get one.

and the disparities gap increaseth.
