I think that they might possibly have to lower their requirements,because i see people less and less kids at my school actually might the requirments,but i am counting like gpa.I thinking more about the advanced(cp)and honor classes(ap) and with all the math credits.
Maybe i am wrong,though i live in Alabama,just seems to me,that colleges will have to lower their requirements.Or kids are just being lazy,because most of the kids at my school want to go to community college then transfer out.
Do is that a common thing?\
And why are more people going to community colleges?

I don't think they'll have to. I come from Southern California and I had above a 4.0 and got a 2130 on my SAT and stanford, virginia and UCLA all rejected me. While these are high level schools I still don't think there is a shortage of smart young kids out there.

No, colleges will not have to lower any requirements. No offense, but your sampling is just of Alabama. There are many places where it is extremely difficult for students to get into choice colleges because they are all over-qualified. It is not lazy to go to a community college first. It's an excellent way to save money. Universities are very expensive (trust me, I did all the years at one and have plenty of debt from it.) This may also explain why you feel more people are going to a community college; it's a reasonably priced way to further your education.

There are more highly qualified applicants than ever before, so, no, I don't think colleges will have to lower their requirements.
People go to community colleges because: 1) they want to stay local, 2) they only want two years of education, 3) they're more affordable, 4) they can't get into another, more preferred school so they decide to go, then transfer, etc.

The better schools have way more applicants with very high SAT, ACT & GPAs than they can admit.
Students that are super serious about carears are NOT slacking and there is no shortage of competitive students at this time.

I don't think they'll lower their requirements, especially in California. Also the acceptance rate at the top schools (Harvard) I think is actually getting lower.

No, they are not going to reduce GPA and ACT/SAT, because some people can not maintain or exceed. There are students in my high school with 1.5 GPA and students with 3.5s and above.
