The Recession & Enrollment Trends
West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission
• The National Association for College Admission Counseling
(NACAC) 2008 State of College Admissions survey found that the
current recession has had a number of effects on the enrollment
pipeline nationwide, including:
• Students were more likely to forego ‘dream’ schools in favor of
more affordable options, including reported shifts in preferences
from private to public institutions
• Students applied to more schools and were more likely to
submit financial aid applications
• Institutions admitted a higher proportion of students, but yields
were down
• Students were more likely to turn down offers of acceptance,
citing insufficient aid to attend
