Effects of the Economy on the Admission Process, 2008-09. National Association for College Admission Counseling, June 2009
National Association for College Admission Counseling
The 2008-09 college admission cycle took place during a period of heightened economic uncertainty. When added to the annual uncertainty of the admission process--for both students seeking college admission offers and colleges seeking to predict their annual enrollment yield--the economic environment caused great concern among colleges and students about their prospects for Fall 2009. In an attempt to quantify a few basic admission trends for the current admission cycle, National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) surveyed its high school and college members in May 2009 to find out how their counseling and admission departments, as well as the students they serve, have been affected by the current economic recession. (Contains 2 tables.)
