<p>My local neighborhood HS for the class of '11 got four accepts into Yale – an inordinately high no. of accepts. I think only one for class of '12. A top performing inner-city HS got 3 Yale admits in the class of '12 when there were zero for class of '11.</p>
<p>Quotas? Why bother with them? They aren’t trying to please anyone. The adcom’s job is hard enough. If the student is what they’re looking for, an admit is forthcoming. If not, then not.</p>
