<p>Does cornell, and iv's in general, frown upon accepting multiple students from one high school? In my school we have 2 EDers that are getting in, and five RDer's that are most likely getting in (they have qualities, whether it be race or 2350+ sat that cornell cant refuse). Then myself and another fairly qualify student are applying. By most standards we both have a good chance to get in, but if cornell already accepts seven kids from my school are we more or less disqualified.</p>
<p>i know with my school a ton of people applied & they told us that if i applie to CAS & someone else applied to the hotel school or something that they dont know that other people applied since all applications are sent directly to the individual college. i dont know how true that is but thats what they said</p>
<p>well thats awesome for me cuz im the only person applying to human ecology</p>
<p>and by "they" do u mean a cornell rep?</p>
<p>cornell does accept multiple people from one high school (whether or not it is a feeder school).</p>
<p>heh, i'm glad i'm the only one in my school applying ED. but that's a good question...if i get deferred then i'll be competing with several other kids in my school</p>
<p>Don't worry about it too much. If it was a small LAC, I'd say it was a big factor. However, I know for a fact that there are 19 kids here from Horace Greeley High School (a strong medium sized public school), and those are just the one's that matriculated here. . .I don't know how many were accepted. That might go along with the whole feeder school thing. . .but don't worry about competing with others in your highschool. . . there are a lot of spots in the freshman class, they're not too worried about admitting multiple people from a school.</p>
<p>my school has at least 10 applicants....but i sorta wonder how many multiple applicants you can have without ranks and gpa taking a dive</p>
<p>Cornell accepted 4 ED from my school last year, after an average of 8 matriculating students total in the previous 5 years I believe.</p>
<p>5 kids from my grade go here, including me. I believe that exactly 7 were accepted, actually, which is likely a first for my high school. The SAT range of kids who got accepted from my school goes from something in the 1200's to 1580, so don't worry about it.</p>
<p>"Furthermore, we do not have a set quota for the number of applicants we accept from any school."</p>
<p>that's taken right off of cornell's website. if you need to actually see it for yourself, it's under FAQs: Admission: Public or Private?</p>
<p>or you can click this: <a href="http://admissions.cornell.edu/resources/faq_answer.cfm?num=26%5B/url%5D">http://admissions.cornell.edu/resources/faq_answer.cfm?num=26</a></p>
<p>Yeah... last year my school accepted eight.. the year before it was more.</p>
<p>so, do you think you have an extra advantage if you are the only one applying from your school?</p>
<p>I would say no to the previous question. I don't think Cornell puts applicants from the same school up against each other, at least not enough to make it significantly easier if you apply alone.</p>
<p>it is not an advantage to being the only one from your HS. they care by region, not by school.</p>
<p>If you read the book, The Gatekeepers, which came out a couple years ago, you will find that the college featured (Wesleyan) did indeed organize all applicants according to what high school they went to. That is partly because different admissions counselors are in charge of different geographical areas. I can't say that this is how all colleges work, but I believe it's pretty close. I recommend the book, which is highly informative and also quite suspenseful.</p>
