<p>MIT hasn't accepted ANYONE from my school... and we've gotten many into Ivies....</p>
<p>Regarding Post#20 and 21, another explanation could be culture if
they never accepted anybody from your school ever.</p>
<p>It would be strange if a college admitted 3-5 every year until a
particular year and then for five years the numbers drop down to
0.</p>
<p>hmm. If a student who got into Yale was discovered to have cheated on his senior project and had to defer, willl Yale blacklist that school?? </p>
<p>I'm praying that this is NOT THE CASE.</p>
<p>I think this speaks highly of the high school. Too many high schools would keep this quiet.</p>
<p>MIT? Standford? My high school is considered the untouchables. My calc class is relearning how to simplify basic algebra..</p>

<p>At my school anywhere from 2-4 people got into MIT every year. And then 8 years ago it stopped and no one has gotten in since. So is it possible our school has been blacklisted? I really don't know what to make of it.</p>
<p>toledo: I'm pretty sure my high school found out, and then informed Yale about it. They do senior project checks and then notify parents, etc if they find out you've cheated. </p>
<p>So ... my high school is good then?</p>
<p>dartmouth doesn't like my HS that much. but then again, only 3 applied in recent years. no standford, no MIT...</p>
<p>penn, on the other hand, just seems incredibly hard to get into, even harder than yale...
i'm EDing penn. <em>fingers crossed</em></p>
<p>Brown's blacklisted my school, unfortunately. It's my dream school. Apparently, one of my guidance counselor's fought with a rep from Brown and ever since we haven't had an accepted student. Of course I will still apply, but the chances are slim to none that I will get in. Let me also note that we have had many students accepted to Cornell, Penn, Duke, Stanford, and Dartmouth recently- so it's not as if we haven't the students.
The last accepted student that I know of was my sister's boyfriend. </p>
<p>That was 12 years ago.</p>
<p>well I talked to Emory admission director about blacklisting school, he said they don't really blacklist any school, but students in certain school thinks that they do. he went onto explain that most of the students with high gpa and didn't get accepted took easy classes for those.
..so.. yea..this is just emory i guess</p>
<p>This actually actually happened to our school too. Someone backed out of Yale and UPENN and we've been on the blacklist forever but for the past few years, it seems like the curse has been broken. We had a few Yales and some UPenn-ers last year.</p>

<p>Don't get me started on this one.....look at the stats profiles of those who are on the accepted threads last year.....Emory is on a "changing demographics" mission....what the admissions person told you is the "party line" they told everybody in the northeast whose schools have been "taken off the target list".....</p>
