SC - what is wrong with this sentence

What is wrong with this statement - " The percentage of applicants admitted to the ivy league has decreased over the last decade, even though the criteria for admission has not changed"

"criteria" is plural (the singular is "criterion").

but, please obey the forum rules when you post things. we need:
• the complete problem, exactly as originally presented (including all answer choices)
• a citation of the original source

from now on, if you post questions without these things, those posts will just be locked and/or deleted.
thanks.
