<p>This year, we had about 11 kids admitted. Typically we only have two. Any thoughts on why? What happened to quotas lol.</p>
<p>Every school admits differently. Some don’t care how many come from one highschool or region or state.</p>
<p>I don’t know any college that categorizes the applications by high school. What they may do is at the end of the process, check how it panned out by high school to make sure some terrible slights are not made. In such cases a courtesy waitlist might be given rather than a deny, especially if the school is a feeder school. My oldest son’s prep school that usually get 2-5 kids into Harvard, got 9 accepted one year. It was considered a travesty of a year when only one kid was accepted a few years ago there.</p>
<p>Pretty sure they admit by region not by school. I guess your school happened to have 11 seniors who Vanderbilt decided to take from your region?</p>
<p>cpt, a very prestigious prep school in our area did not have a single admit to Harvard the year my D was a senior. The headmaster flew out to meet with the director of admissions that summer (or so the story goes). :)</p>
