Competition at Ivy League colleges this year has been intense, with schools like Dartmouth, Yale, Brown and Harvard seeing a spike in applications and slimming acceptance rates.
At Dartmouth College, applications for admission jumped by one-third in a single year, according to Vice Provost and Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Lee Coffin. In raw numbers, he said, the school saw about 7,000 additional applications over the year before.
