At what point (#) in the rankings can one rely on objective stats for admission?

<p>Here in TX, this year our school had 4 admits to Stanford, 2 Harvard, 2 MIT, 2 Princeton, 1 Yale, 1 CalTech. Then a bunch to other Ivies. However, it is possible that at our school more top kids apply to Stanford than to other schools. So, mathmom, is it possible that not as many top students apply to Stanford from your high?</p>
