I wonder if this is another indication of the downward economy and increased competition for students?

I've talked recently with two admissions people. The end of the boom of the baby boomer kids starts with the class of 2010. Many colleges are expecting the number of applications to fall.

There are college who have always thought the SAT process is flawed due to ethnic background and quality of education. One college my daughter talked to didn't care about SAT's. The third part of the SAT is a joke. How can a college quantify a subjective score? At least the Math and English are cut and dry correct/incorrect answer.
