What's the hardest college in America to get into?

You're probably thinking it's @Harvard, which admitted just 3% of applicants this year, but you're wrong. It’s @Tulane, whose official acceptance rate is 0.7%.

@James_S_Murphy explains why. ⬇️

businessinsider.com/early-decision…
How did Tulane do it? Through the power of "early decision," which it first started offering for the freshman class of 2017.

The process is to look at their freshman class and hence, their annual revenue before they even look at RD applications.

businessinsider.com/early-decision…
The only way Tulane can afford to reject 99% of its applicants in the regular round is if it's confident it has already locked down most of its class through early decision.

Gen X should be in charge of the US by now.

Boomers (and the Silent Generation) still hold prime positions of power, including the presidency. Gen X has yet to secure a majority of seats in Congress and the Supreme Court. 👇

By historical standards, today's middle-agers should be right there, right now, in the most important positions of power — like the presidency.

businessinsider.com/gen-x-presiden…
A big part of Gen X's leadership impediment: finding the winning message in a country that for most of the past 30 years has been led by baby boomers. President @JoeBiden represents an even earlier cohort — he's a member of the Silent Generation.

America's government is too old, and most Americans want dramatic changes to address the nation's expanding gerontocracy, according to a new Insider/Morning Consult poll.

You must be 25 years old to serve in the US House, 30 in the US Senate, but there's no ceiling.

Three in four poll respondents favored instituting congressional age maximums.

❓ Do you think there should be congressional age maximums?

The death of Queen Elizabeth II marks a major change for people working within the royal household.

Here's what "The Firm" currently looks like and how it might evolve to suit the new monarch. 👇

insider.com/queen-elizabet…
Insider previously estimated that 1,133 people work, volunteer, and assume ceremonial roles in the royal household.

America's leaders are old and getting older.

Insider’s "Red, White, and Gray" investigation explores the costs, benefits, and dangers of aging leaders running the US, and the true problem of a gerontocracy. 👇

businessinsider.com/gerontocracy-u…
America has always been governed by a class of political leaders older than the population. This has been the case going back to the early 1800s.

For the bulk of the 19th and 20th centuries, the country has gradually aged as Congress has gradually aged.

businessinsider.com/gerontocracy-u…
But then, in the early 1990s, something changed.

Congress began getting much older, much faster. Congress and federal judges have gotten older over time, from the founding of our nation until today.
