Admission of Multiple Students from Same High School

Applying to College
21

<p>Keep in mind that there are some "elite" private and public high schools (example: the exters, andovers, st. pauls, and other elite preps as well as the Thomas Jeffersons, Stuyvesants, New Triers, etc.) that are feeders for colleges so it is no unusual for there to be multiple admissions from the same school.</p>

<p>for example: for the class of 2005, Stuyvesant H.S. in NYC had the following admits;</p>

<p>7- harvard, 12- Princeton, 30-Cornell, 29-Columbia, 16-Dartmouth, 6-Penn, 8-Stanford, 9 wash u, 7 williams, 4 -amherst, 4-brown, 4-cooper union, 8-georgetown, 8-Jhu, 11-MIT and mutltiple admissions at chichago, wes, wellesley, vassar etc. with a large number of ED admits in each school.</p>

<p>Attached a partial listing of the where 372 students (which is not even half of the seniors) the class of 06 at Stuyvesant is going in the fall.

<h1>of students going to:</h1>

<p>4-Barnard, 4- Brown, 1 Caltech, 11- Columbia, 4- Cooper Union,
30- Cornell, 14 Darmouth, 6- Duke, 13-Harvard, 11-Hopkins, 9-MIT
27-NYU, 11- Princeton, 5- Stanford, 5- Penn, 3- Yale</p>

<p>migrane, it doesn't matter whether or not the four were exceptional. The acceptees of those schools are all supposed to be exceptionsl (whether or not that's the case) but that's irrelevant because you said that they only take one student per school, which apparently isn't so.</p>

I just remember calling Yale's admissions office and hearing that they will take no more than one person per high school.

they took two from my D HS, including her.</p>

24

<p>Georgetown definitely cares. They don't take a lot from one high school. Also, they give super (almost URM) preference to people from Jesuit high schools.</p>

25

<p>these are just attending, some more had multiple admits and didn't go (i.e. princeton)</p>

<p>harvard - 3
yale - 4
wash u - 4
duke - 2
unc-ch - 2
cornell - 4
umiami - 2
georgetown - 2
oberlin - 2
michigan - 3
uva - 3
maryland - 2
bryn mawr - 2
columbia - 2
northwestern - 2
notre dame - 2</p>

<p>granted, some of these include recruits and we had a graduating class of 82</p>

26

<p>six or seven applied to Cornell and four got in from my school, so they don't care</p>

27

<p>What do you mean by "doesn't care?"</p>

<p>An institution may be perfectly comfortable accepting multiple applicants, but still manage the process carefully because they know students know each other and have a rough basis for comparison, and because the college may have an ongoing relationship with the counselor(s). The fact that there ARE multiple applications from a school may slightly alter the way all or most of the applicants from that school are handled.</p>

28

<p>for us, four applied to BC, and three got in, although none are going. And four people applied to Tufts, three got accepted, and two are going.</p>

29

<p>definitely doesnt care. They took 8 from my school this yr. and 6 are going</p>

30

<p>I'm pretty sure UVA does care, but it's more region than high school. Basically, they'll only accept so many people from the Northern Virginia area... :/</p>

<p>they do, however, reserve about 100 seats every year for TJ kids.</p>

31

<p>Oh yeah, and also NYU and BU: 2 accepted to NYU but aren't going, three accepted to BU, all going.</p>

32

<p>If you check the Phillips Academy (Andover) website, where one of my kids went to school, you'll see that nine 2005 graduates went to Yale, down from seventeen in 2002. I haven't looked at the other elite high schools, but I suspect they'll have similar success at Yale.</p>

33

<p>Yale cares with my school. They usually only let one kid in a year. This year there were two because one was a sports recruit.</p>

34

<p>


</p>

<p>that's strange...we have 13 from my school going to yale in the fall.</p>

35

<p>There were two girls in my school this year who got into pretty much all the Ivies/top schools they applied to, and they both got into Harvard and Yale. And my school is FAR from one of those feeder type schools. (It's pretty crappy, actually.)</p>

36

<p>There are 2 people going to Cornell from my school.</p>

37

<p>what are the disadvantages for chosing too many students from the same secondary school?</p>

<p>Do they mess up their regional quotas or does it make them look bad?</p>

<p>I just want to know if I'm also in the competition pool against others in my high school rather than just the competition pool against the whole pool of applicants.</p>

38

<p>Vanderbilt, Cornell, Duke & Boston College accepted plenty of people from my school & there are only about 180 people per grade...</p>

39

<p>My old public school is 360 kids..and had 4 Yale admits last yr and a handful of others. Our Val. went tO Penn(dont know much more tho) b/c he was my old friend/locker buddys brother.
This yr were not at all any feeder schoolll unless u call it a feeder school to cw post(not saying its a bad school its excellent one of the best for Special ed people but its 10 damn minutes from my house) and yah about 1/2 of each graduating class)-which is about 10-15 kids tops of how many kids in a class so yah do the math</p>

<p>No school cares... if they meet admission requirements, they will be offered admission.</p>

<p>(I'm not sure about service academies though.)</p>
