<p>Do colleges compare students from the same school? There are a lot of kids from my school applying ED to this one school and I just want to know if admissions officers use the fact that we are all from the same school to determine decisions.</p>
<p>college reps always say that they "dont have quotas for geographic areas or specific schools" but i dont believe it. its contrary to logic--if they want a diverse undergraduate population, the 1 person from high school x will have a better shot of getting in than the 100 people from high school y. I'm not saying you shouldn't apply there, but i do believe there are quotas to some extent.</p>
