While I don't think schools care much about college entrance exam scores anymore, the raising of educational standards was very much in motion back then and very evidently has continued in the 16 years I have graduated (damn, I feel old!).

UIC has also benefited from a substantial, $750+ million increase in their endowment, even though it's only been in the past 2-3 years.
