<p>Do you guys think that Stanford will only accept a certain amount from each school?<br>
I know that some top colleges compare a group of people from the same school and only take a few if there are multiple people from the highschool applying. At my highschool, there is two(including me) applying SCEA, but we have never had anyone go to Stanford. We do have plenty go to Princeton every year as I live right next door(literally). So would Stanford only accept a max of one student from my highschool?</p>
<p>I really doubt it would be that hard and fast. All colleges claim that they don't compare candidates within a school, but that's only partly true, but I can't imagine their having a limit of 1 student (or 2 for that matter).
Of course, if students from a school habitually turn down a college, it does tend to have some effect on later years, but it's a pretty grey area.</p>
<p>from naviance, I know that three were accepted from my school last year (out of 13 applicants), so that is a bit higher number (although there may be less people from Minnesota applying to Stanford). This year there were 5 SCEA applicants so we'll so how I do...</p>
<p>There is such a limit, but it is for CA (especially local) schools with like 90% of the class applying to Stanford. In your case, there is no need to worry at all if there's only 2 applicants. It may even be to your advantage.</p>
<p>I'm in southern california, and sixteen people from my school were accepted last year.</p>
<p>If there's any limit, I don't think it's per school. Maybe regional, if the regional admissions officer only gets to vouch for a certain number of candidates or something.</p>
<p>pretty much all schools do have regional limits - they often have something of a target by state or region. But with 2 applicants from your school, we're all in agreement you're quite safe from quota effects...</p>
<p>Yeah, I think Ailey's correct: there is a regional limit, not a school limit.</p>
<p>Consider yourself lucky-
I'm one of 10 SCEA applicants from my school, and I'm coming from NEW MEXICO. It's going to be rough :(</p>
<p>This is a strange year all right. At a local girls' school, 30 students out of a class of 60 are applying early. At my daughter's school, 5 out of the class of 40 are applying early.....</p>
<p>I think I'm going to be 1 of 2-3 competitive applicants. I mean, only 2-3 of us out of the top 10% of the student body will even be applying, and no athletes are being recruited. In the past few years, our school has been on the rise (going from one of the worst in the county to top 10 in the state), and we've had 1-2 acceptances from Stanford a year. I hope this year isn't any different =</p>
<p>I read in another post that geographical diversity is not a factor, at Stanford. The post was quoting the Admissions staff.</p>
