<p>I was wondering which top schools care about accepting more than one person per high school. I would like to compile a list, but I only know of one university so far who doesn't take the secondary school institution into account.</p>
<p>Doesn't Care
-Princeton
-Duke
-University of Miami
-NYU</p>
<p>Does Care</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure Duke doesn't care. Five people applied to Duke from my school, and 4 got in.</p>
<p>U Penn doesnt care. 7 ppl from my school r going this yr.
I Miami doesnt either. 5 ppl from my school went last yr and more we accepted.</p>
<p>A bunch of people went to NYU from my school this year.</p>
<p>Doesn't Care</p>
<p>-Harvard</p>
<p>Does UNC-Chapel Hill care? I don't think they do because last year's numbers 1, 2, and 3 are all going to UNC. But I know there are a lot of other people in my class that want to go to UNC. Do they generally only accept one person from each school for a specific major? There is another student who wants to go to UNC majoring in Pharmacy. I wish to do so as well. Would they only accept one student for this major?</p>
<p>does care in my opinion: caltech (1 got in, 3 or 4 got waitlisted and then rejected)</p>
<p>doesn't care: washu, northwestern, uchicago</p>
<p>shashta - Are you sure?</p>
<p>Now we have:</p>
<p>Doesn't Care
-Princeton
-Duke
-University of Miami
-NYU
-Washington University
-Northwestern University
-University of Chicago
-Harvard (?)
-University of Pennsylvania</p>
<p>Does Care</p>
<p>Every top school cares. There is an absolute limit they will take from one school. 5 or 7 isn't it. There are only maybe 35 high schools in the Country where it's an issue. And only maybe 25 colleges.</p>
<p>I just remember calling Yale's admissions office and hearing that they will take no more than one person per high school.</p>
<p>So, it isn't any problem with UNC - Chapel Hill? They will accept 5 or so students from one school (a class of only approx. 150 students)?</p>
<p>csummerlin, I don't think there would be a problem with UNC Chapel Hill accepting 5 out of 150 students from one high school, if it's in North Carolina, and the students are all otherwise qualified (nearly all Chapel Hill admits are in the top 10% of their HS graduating class). </p>
<p>Last year, more than 50% of the North Carolina residents who applied were admitted. (By state law, 82% of the freshman class must be NC residents, and only about 40% of the applicant pool is from NC).</p>
<p>Thanks conyat... It is an in-state school and I am in the top 10% of my class.. I was just wondering if my chances would decrease due to the fact that numbers 1 and 3 of my class want to go to UNC, and then me (number 13). And number three wants to major in pharamacy like me. I just hope they accept all of us and whoever else that may want to go.</p>
<p>Notre Dame, Villanova, Colgate, Fairfield, and Loyola MD don't care</p>
<p>"I just remember calling Yale's admissions office and hearing that they will take no more than one person per high school."</p>
<p>Not true. Four people from my high school were accepted last year. Also, this would give a huge advantage to smaller schools...</p>
<p>What about MIT?</p>
<p>what about LACs like Swarthmore?</p>
<p>"Not true. Four people from my high school were accepted last year. Also, this would give a huge advantage to smaller schools..."</p>
<p>Were these four people exceptional, i.e. clear admits?</p>
<p>Mostly I think it is a case by case scenario. While it may appear that only one out of five was admitted to HYPSM etc, there is no way to say the other students would have been admitted had they been the only applicant. Ivy/elite admissions are so subjective to begin with that it is much harder to determine patterns.</p>
