<p>Is it true that the more people who apply to a certain school creates even more competition? </p>
<p>Like if 5 people wanted to go to Stanford (from fairly competitive high school), would that lower our %'s of getting in?</p>
<p>Or do schools not have any biases as to which schools people come from?</p>
<p>YES.</p>
<p>Even if you're all qualified, from my p.o.v., they aren't going to admit everyone. They want diversity, students from diff. schools.</p>
<p>I have 10-20 kids applying to Stanford E.A. at my school.</p>
<p>Unfortunately yes. Which sucks since about everyone who is even minimally qualified applies to Stanford at my school.</p>
<p>^So you'll stand out :)</p>
<p>darn it!!!</p>
<p>that stinks.</p>
<p>yes. this is why i've dissuaded everyone who was going to apply EA to my first choice from doing so.</p>
<p>this blows :( i know at least three kids from the top ten percent are applying to my dream school. and there's only eight top ten percent kids.</p>
<p>mtngoat1: You are evil, but in a good way. That totally sounds like something I would do. ^.^</p>
<p>The UPenn admissions dean at the information session said, "You are judged in the context of where you come from."</p>
<p>In the Princeton Review top 360 schools, Brown says that they do not like to admit several students from the same school.</p>
