lucky me, I’m part of the school newspaper so I have access to previous papers where college results were released and I’ve noticed my school only has 0-1 Penn’s each year. Especially because my school consistently pushes out Ivy League students (like 20-30 each year from a pretty small class). But we rarely get Penns. It just raised the question on why it’s like that and I’m looking for some insight lol. Thanks in advance!
No. Although they certainly seem to like Philly high schools.
Simple math. there are 37000 high schools in the US, and Penn admits 3700. So there are at least 33K other high schools with zero acceptances.
But I do think that certain colleges like certain high schools. I know a high school in our area that gets many into selective schools and some Ivys, but none EVER into Penn. Around the corner, a high school that consistently gets 2 or 3 in each year. Maybe it has to do with the relationships the regional reps have with that high school. Or liking the programs from the high school. Of course @skieurope I agree with you, but I myself am curious about this too. It would seem that if it was just a case of the the 37,000 high schools, then maybe in some years there would be a few more at Penn, and other years less. But in my case, there has been ZERO. Interesting food for thought

For the most part, one needs to file it under “It is what it is” because Penn will never tell you. I can think of a couple of instances where it is possible that the HS has given Penn a negative impression:
• Past experience(s) with students from the HS backing out of ED agreements
• Penn questions how well the HS prepares for college if past students from the HS have gone to Penn, but fared poorly.
Perhaps the GC can provide some feedback. Otherwise, to quote the old Tootsie Pop commercial, “The world may never know.”
Yes, Each Ivy has its own feeder schools, which it consistently takes large number every year.
