<p>My experience is that if multiple individuals really shine, the unspoken “caps” really don’t hold. The HS near my home had four Yale admits two years ago. Really an anomaly. The top performing urban HS in the large nearby city, this past year, had three Yale admits. No others from the city were admitted I believe. Individuals really count it seems.</p>
<p>Hanajima’s citing similar opportunities at the same HS probably factor most in this equation. I concur 100%</p>
