[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you’re looking for some type of financial aid/full ride scholarship from another school because of not being able to afford your HYP education, then it’s pretty selfish to apply to more, it’s hurting other kids chances.[/quote]No it isn't. Students from the same school do not compete against each other for X number of spots. That's why admit numbers vary from year to year.[/quote]

While there aren’t a fixed number of spots for each high school, kids from a given high school are most definitely compared to each other. So your daughter might be offered admission if she applies. If she doesn’t apply, those colleges won’t see her application and will not compare her classmates to her. That might lead to admissions offers for one or more of her classmates.

My kid was accepted to a couple of HYPSM RD after being rejected REA — no one else from high school was admitted to any T20 that my kid applied to. It was eye-opening to see. In fact Yal had waitlisted two kids from our school in the early round and rejected them RD while simultaneously waiting my kid RD. So a comparison was made! [/quote]
