<p>Hey, I was wondering whether Penn has a limit on the number of people they'd take ED from one school. I go to a school in Maryland, & 7 people applied ED; all very qualified. Is it possible that they'd take everyone? Have they ever taken a significant amount of people from your school ED? Thanks.</p>
<p>the best indication can be given by looking at past applicant years from your school b/c Penn tends to not deviate much from precedent on a school-to-school basis</p>
<p>Yeah it's possible. My school usually only sends 1 student to Penn every year. But last year, 5 got accepted.</p>
<p>Well there is no precedent, there's always been just 1 or 2 ED, it was kinda just a fluke thing this year.</p>
<p>It really depends on the school.</p>
<p>Public school, depends on the quality, but probably less likely.</p>
<p>Elite private school? Much more likely.</p>
<p>Then the best answer I can give you is that Penn will accept as many qualified applicants from your school as they can. Since so many are applying from your school, they may be forced to choose 2-3 of the best of you (no matter how close together you are in terms of stats). Their decision may not be so hard if some of the more subjective stuff (e.g. essays, recs) were much better for a few of you than the rest.</p>
<p>sigh i really hope so
there are like 20-30 from my school</p>
<p>they accepted 8 from my school last year through ED, so it's definitely possible. (and then they took even more during RD)
22 people applied ED though...but not all were highly qualified.</p>
<p>this year, however, 19 people applied (we think), and most, if not all, are qualified.</p>
<p>wow that sentence had too many commas. hahaha</p>
<p>My school has such a small population (around 180-200 people per class), and it sent 5 people to Penn ED last year. 10 people got into Penn overall, including RD, last year. So, I think it's definitely possible.</p>
<p>^hahahahahahhaha
I didn't laugh that hard, it's just the 10 char limit lol</p>
<p>^hahahahahahhaha

<p>wow my posts are REALLy messed up..</p>
<p>3 years ago, 5 people got accepted from my school. I think at least 1-2 have been accepted each year since then. I'm not sure how many of those were ED applicants since I didn't know any of them too well.</p>
<p>at the top philly schools, both public and private, 10% of the class gets accepted ED to penn. at masterman its probably more.</p>
<p>^yup</p>
<p>at least, i hope so :P</p>
<p>i live in Philly, and i attend Central high.</p>
<p>There are about 25 students that got accepted to Penn each year with 2 or 3 that went to Harvard, Yale, and Princeton.</p>
<p>So, it is very possible that Penn takes 5+ ED from the same school.</p>
<p>omg what's wrong with cc today</p>
