[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering Yale only has 5500 undergrads, I'd say it would be a one time anomoly that Sidwell hit that number last year. 11 is a freakish number for any prep including the Nee England blue blood ones. The only possible explanation would be a large number of very connected legacy families the same year. [/quote]

The year I attended Princeton they admitted 14 from Andover. Years later when I represented Andover on the asc another 14 got in. (Fwiw I went to a marginal public which sent 4 in a decade)[/quote]

I think the Yale/Sidwell situation was an an aberration.  I'm not sure when you graduated from Andover, but I think the Ivies are getting away from admitting so many kids from a single school.  I would not be surprised to see Yale take 5-6 from Sidwell - one has already committed on athletics -- but not double digits.  Sidwell kids have tended not to apply to Princeton in large numbers, and very few have been admitted over the years.[/quote]
