<p>My local neighborhood HS for the class of '11 got four accepts into Yale -- an inordinately high no. of accepts. I think only one for class of '12. A top performing inner-city HS got 3 Yale admits in the class of '12 when there were zero for class of '11.</p>
<p>Quotas? Why bother with them? They aren't trying to please anyone. The adcom's job is hard enough. If the student is what they're looking for, an admit is forthcoming. If not, then not.</p>
<p>Damn, you guys have a lot of people going to good colleges from your schools... We had one go to Yale and one to Dartmouth from a class of 600+, thats it. I don't think we have ever sent someone to Harvard, Princeton, or Stanford, but I might be mistaken. Most of the top students here are expected to go to a service academy.</p>
<p>No set quotas. I have seen multiples, large multiples even, getting into any given top school. However, it can be problematic when a small college gets a large number of qualified kids applying from a school, especially from an area that is already heavily represented at the college.</p>
<p>no true according o my school.
two girls go into yale this year. It was funny because they are best friends!</p>
<p>nope one year we has 15 going to princeton.</p>
<p>meadow36 -- you must be in that public school right next to Princeton with all the kids of Princton profs that I've read about!</p>
<p>not too much either for me;
for this year, like 2 for yale, 2~3 to stanford, 0 to princeton, 0 or 1 to harvard (i'm not sure)...</p>
<p>and like 20+ to uc berkeley/UCLA LOL</p>
<p>My high school is pretty new, only about 4-5 years old, and we haven't covered all the Ivies yet. But I think there's like 1 each in Harvard, Yale, Penn, Dartmouth. Then 1 each in Hopkins, Washington University in St. Louis, Stanford. And about 20 million UCs.</p>
<p>unfortunately, my school was pretty new too. even though it was the most academic high school in our area, it hadn't established feeder school status, which is really unfair, imo. i have moved around the country so i know a little bit about competition elsewhere, and it wasn't as intense as at my school in my graduating year ('08). however, i was reading some other college-choice lists from other schools in the area (Palo Alto High School which is like a billion years old and well-established) and they sent like 11 people to stanford. coincidence, i think not</p>
