Questioning The myth:Do colleges admit more than 1 students from the same highschool?

<p>Hey, I am a prospective intertanional student making an ED to an Ivy League School. I was just wondering, do my chances decrease if another student from my school is also making an ED to the same school?</p>

<p>I was wondering the same thing. I suspect that if you go to a school with only a class size of 250 or less, I highly doubt the top tier ivies will take more than one student. Atleast from my school, only special circumstances allowed for more than 1 (2 black female twins to harvard, 2 female rowers to princeton, and a legacy + valevictiorian to yale). I’m sure that private school are not the same however since they usually have connections to those type of schools.
I got to a public school in CT.</p>

<p>It depends on your school and the college. It is true that you will be competing with your classmate to a certain extent. That is why some top prep schools strongly encourage their top students to focus on different ivies, but my high school put four into Yale out of 11 who applied. We only had 75 students in the graduating class.</p>

<p>thanks for the answers guys :slight_smile: Well, I guess the time will show me :)</p>

<p>glido is correct. Our HS sends one but only one to Harvard every year. But we do send several kids to Cornell every year, as well as to Stanford.</p>

<p>College is a business. If they want you they will want you, regardless of which HS you attended.</p>
