Well, the problem is that higher ed funding is being cut while overall populations are still expanding. So they have to be more selective about who they take. I know that here in the States, the requirements for ACT and SAT testing have gone through the roof.

Here are a couple of other questions to consider...

How fair is it that now students get to use a calculator on their college entrance exams and I couldn't?

How fair is it that you have the Web for research and I was stuck with only my shitty library (WWW was introduced the end of my freshman year in college)?
