First graduating class

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello,
I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I searched the forums and found nothing.
I will be a rising senior this year and part of the first class to graduate from my high school. My question is whether or not being in the first graduating class will affect college opinions about me. Since our school has obviously never sent any students to the schools I'll apply to, do I have less of a chance of getting in simply because I was part of a new school?
I recall reading something like "if X school hasn't accepted students from your area for the last Y years, don't expect to get in," and wondered if that applied here.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I don’t think it’s going to affect you. They’ll consider your grades/scores/ECs/etc. If you come from a high school that sends kids to Ivies every year, then you probably have a better idea of what’s expected. If you don’t go to that kind of school, then don’t worry about it.</p>
