<p>What if there were 3 qualified candidates that say, Harvard or Princeton wanted. Would they take all three from the same school? Or would they compare the 3 and maybe only take two or one since they are from the same high school?</p>
<p>last year, Harvard accepted 3 students from my school (and all 3 matriculated), so it's possible...</p>
<p>They wouldn't care. They would take 3 easily if they are all truly qualified. At some schools Princeton takes over 20 students per year, and thats only how many marticulate, not how many that were accepted which was likely more. Of course, the student most be princeton level in order to get accepted still. Only when the numbers get outrageous do they look a little bit, but under 10 is usually ok. [Some schools, namely TJSS and Phillips, get special treatment and thus can marticulate up to 30 at any one of those schools per year)</p>
<p>In 2005 Princeton took 3 kids from my school.</p>
<p>it depends on the HS you go to too. although, last year, we had 3 Hs--although 1 was a URM, and the other two were absolutely amazing--like internat'l math olympiad gold medalist amazing</p>
<p>Depends upon the school.
It usually is not an issue with schools sending one or two students to the Ivies. One or three is not a lot. Applications from these schools do not warrant a separate review. Most probably ad. coms will never notice that they accepted two kids from the same school.
This is an issue with schools sending a 100+ applications to the same Ivy. Of course more than 1 or 3 are accepted, and one university can take 10 or more in a particular year, but those kids are compared to each other.
I do not know where is the line.</p>
<p>It's possible, especially if its a top tier public school or if the school is, say, Andover, or something of that caliber.</p>
<p>Yale took 3 kids from my school EA this year.</p>
<p>what if it's a relatively competitive public school</p>
<p>Last year my school sent 5 to princeton, 3 to harvard and 4 to yale out of a class of 90.
But it all depends on the school.</p>
<p>My roommate's school sent 6 kids to both Princeton and Harvard this year.</p>
<p>Remember that for every school that sends a lot of peopel to HYP, there is another school that probally has never sent a person to HYP in its history. It depends on the quality/rep of the school too I guess</p>
<p>last year i had 3 go to harvard in my HS
and 7 to princeton</p>
<p>Yale took 3 EA, Stanford took 2 EA, and Cornell took 5 ED from my school this year. </p>
<p>Got 20 at Princeton last year as well.</p>
<p>I go to a public school, too with open enrollment.</p>
<p>are these insane results from public schools?</p>
<p>3 from my public high school are freshman at Yale this year. I know two of those were rejected from Harvard and one was rejected from Princeton.</p>
<p>I guess my school is kinda average. It's sent one kid to Harvard in the last 4 years, two to Princeton, and none to Yale.</p>
<p>All 3 could get in...happens at my public school.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>eight were accepted into harvard last year from my school. six into yale and six into princeton.</p>
<p>way smarter than my class though. i think we're around #90 on the public school list.</p>
<p>about 6 are accepted into HYPS every year at my school. It depends on how your hs is ranked, a high rank usually correlates to a higher number of acceptions.</p>
