The 10th anniversary edition of the State of College Admission report provides a detailed look at some of the 
long-term trends observed in data collected by NACAC over the last ten years. It also offers a recap of some shorter-term observations, which are reflected in periodic research NACAC conducted into issues of concern to students, families, and college admission counseling professionals. Issues such as transfer admission, homeschooling, and student loan debt are among those that gained prominence during the past decade.
