I'd say it varies from school to school & state to state.
Since I'm sitting here with 'em -- regardless of how I feel about them -- I'll use UGA as an example.
Late 90s, 14-16 percent took a remedial course at UGA
Today? Less than 1 percent.
Their average/median freshmen SAT scores have been steadily rising for years.
Where you're likely to see what you mentioned is the 2nd/3rd/4th tier schools.
