<p>I'm sure this is a pointless question to ask, but it's been bothering me lately. My best friend got into NYU ED and another kid was just accepted to GSP. Do they have a certain maximum number of applicants that they'll take from each high school, or is that not a factor?</p>
<p>If it helps, I applied to Gallatin while everyone else from my class applied to CAS.</p>
<p>I think it does matter. Thats what I'm worried about now too, people with better stats at my high schools are applying to the same highly selective universities. However, it does depend on where you go to school. If you go to a very competitive high school, with some of the brightest kids in your state, then chances are there'll be a bigger 'quota' for that high school.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm worried too. I applied to UNC-Chapel Hill early and my best friend did RD. She's thinking of withdrawing her app, but I've already been rejected, and I was thinking, they probably wouldn't accept 2-3 OOS from my school.</p>
<p>don't worry about this. nyu is a VERY popular school at my school, at least 10 people go every year and its a pretty small grade (about 130)</p>
<p>This was my biggest panic--in a grade of about 85 kids, 11 applied early to NYU. Four (including myself) applied to Gallatin, four to Steinhardt, two to CAS and one to Tisch. I was told that my fears were legitimate, in the sense that it's easy for schools to compare you very closely to those you go to school with and also to set an informal limit on how many they'll take from a given school. However, NYU was suprisingly generous: five out of eleven which isn't too shabby. So if you've got the qualifications, I actually think you can trust that they won't be too biased by the number of kids applying from your school.,</p>
<p>Yea, I'm worried-- more so in schools with a much smaller applicant pool. I think with NYU this isn't a big thing because they have 35,000. There's no way to tally up who goes to which school (there are over thousands in the US) AND THEN SCRUTINIZE over those people. It's just simply too much for them. Last year, at least 10 people from my school got accepted. This proves to be true...so i guess don't worry too much (?)</p>
<p>There are no maximum numbers accepted from any one h/s. No worries there.</p>
<p>Six kids from my school got in ED this year!</p>
