<p>So my question is, if lets say three people apply from same school, total number of people 250ish.</p>
<p>then, are they all rejected, if their stats are similar?</p>
<p>or one outstanding student?</p>
<p>thanks in advance guys!</p>
<p>If they are all truly outstanding IN THE YALE POOL and each brings something that that the admissions officers are looking for when crafting a class, I think they’d all be admitted. It’s a fallacy that there is a limit on the number of kids from a single high school. Your question isn’t correctly premised because similar stats wouldn’t be the issue for the students beyond a certain point as much as what their extracurriculars, teacher recs, and essays look like.</p>
<p>This question gets asked over and over. Colleges don’t have rigid admissions quotas, and Yale is no exception. If multiple outstanding candidates present themselves from your school, Yale is not going to say, “Well, there’s this quota in place, and we have to honor it, so which of these fabulous candidates shall we reject?” Colleges are not in the habit of taking actions that are contrary to the institution’s best interests.</p>
<p>I think there is an inherent disadvantage since geographical diversity is something that colleges go far. If students are outstanding, but not shoo ins, then they are competing with thousands and thousands of other outstanding students and so they can’t really stick out anyway. Yale has no quota for super amazing students, but for the typical applicant to Yale who needs a lil bit of luck, there is probably a “quota” per say.</p>
<p>I would say yes, unless all of them are totally BAMF
speaking in general, if you’re high school is mediocre and middle-sized, then normally one or none. it’s happened for the past 10 years at my school. one year, maybe one student to harvard. the next year, one to princeton.</p>
<p>It all depends on the class. My son went to a start-up high school. A complete and utter unknown. His graduating class was 25 kids. Total. Two of them are at Yale.</p>
<p>what if they apply for same major, getting recs from same teacher.
but diff. sat scores, and ecs…</p>
<p>similar grades, but i took hell more aps</p>
<p>What was unclear about the other answers, Lebron? No school quotas</p>
<p>could someone explain the concept of school quota for me please? so does this mean, with same recs, the adcoms wont care?</p>
<p>What’s BAMF? multiples to all Ivies have been admitted from our private school every year – no school quota…</p>

<p>^HA thanks for explaining that for me!
could’ve also substituted- boss, fly supastarrr</p>
<p>No, there is no exact quota. They do try to pick the best students, from all the applicants that they get. If there are 10 amazing (and I mean truly amazing) kids applying to Yale, then its possible that all 10 may get in, but like someone said before, its also luck.</p>
<p>The truth of the matter is though, that there is usually some difference in the students from your school. For some reason or another, one or a few may stand out, and those are the ones that usually get accepted. From my school, I believe 8 applied SCEA, and Yale, if I may say so myself, picked two of them, who are both exceptional.</p>
<p>You seem to want someone to chance you, against someone else from your school. In that case, you’d have to post more information about both of you. However, do remember that both of you can easily be rejected or accepted (ok, maybe a bit harder for accepted), just because its Yale and you never know what will happen.</p>
<p>*Two *people got accepted SCEA from my school so far this year. Waiting for all the other RD ones.</p>
<p>In the class of 2008, three people got in.
Each graduating class has between 110-140.</p>
<p>^you must go to a pretty good school then
those are exceptions to the general rule/trend</p>
<p>Sometimes they accept 0 people.</p>
<p>Like everyone else, I am pretty sure there’s no quota. </p>
<p>Anecdotal proof: for high school, I attended a pretty good prep school, and I know a LOT of students went Eli in the class of 09 and more who got in but decided to go to other schools, like Princeton and Harvard. We even had a student who got off waitlist! Of course, some of these now-Yalies were athletic recruits, but we had our fair number of smart kids too. I tried to check online but for some reason my Adobe Acrobat isn’t working so I can’t tell you exact numbers. Off the top of my head, in addition to me, I can recall five who I see around campus regularly, but I know that there are several more students who I just don’t know personally. So that’s 6+ for sure… I’m guessing the total was something like 8 or 9 who matriculated to Yale. Of course my school was very good and I’ve always suspected (no proof) that prep schools have a special relationship with colleges - if only because they historically send such a large percentage of their students there, and lemme tell ya, my hs-cum-Yale classmates were very good students with strong applications, but there are SO many other outstanding candidates who could have at least matched them. Class of 09 = about 190 students total, I believe.</p>
<p>Of course this is the exception rather than the rule, but just goes to show, it’s uncommon but certainly POSSIBLE.</p>
<p>there is no quota. my senior graduating class is made up of 63 kids, and 3 of us got into Yale SCEA. hope this makes you feel better and good luck!</p>
<p>@stupefy
yeah my high school’s pretty well regarded in the area.
we send at least one person to harvard each year, at two to cornell, at least one to yale, etc etc.
usually we have multiple people going to top schools and some turn down top schools to attend the local state university on a full ride</p>
<p>Your “friend.” </p>
<p>I had to say that, but judging by your previous posts it is your friend.</p>
