Description

<p>We analyzed yearly trends among the applicants who applied excessively numerous private universities using their scores of the National Center Test. The results showed three distinctive periods. In the first period from 2008 to 2011, these kinds of applicants were scattered in many different areas around the country. In the second period from 2012 to 2015, such applicants rapidly increased in the areas hit by the 2011 East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, then decreased in three years. This trend was caused by the fee exemptions by universities to support the young people in the area. During the third period from 2016 to 2017, the numbers of applicants who applied numerous private universities first increased in the metropolitan area. Then this trend was expanded to other areas. The factors affected this trend were a) discounts on admission fees when applicants applied multiple departments, and b) simplified procedures by web-based application systems. Meanwhile, the actual numbers to apply private universities using the National Center Test scores increased nationally, but decreased in the prefectures which were less populated. In other words, the trends were opposite between populated and depopulated areas..</p>
