[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the top tier colleges/universities generally have an unspoken quota range for students from any given elite school in this area (so like H/Y/P will accept around 5-12 +/- kids from all the top schools in the area - so depends on who has applied where from your school)[/quote]

Not part of a Big X, but my sense is that except maybe for St. Albans, the days are long gone where a singly ivy would take up to 12 kids from a local private.  I think I've heard of 4 who got into Yale from Sidwell and GDS  this year -- that's still a lot -- but some of them are cross admits to Stanford and other schools.  But anything near 12 from one high school class of maybe 120 kids accepted into a single ivy -- up to 10% of the high school class?  I think those days are long past.   [/quote]

I read the post as saying that Harvard, Yale and Princeton collectively will accept 5 - 12 from top schools.  That would make sense -- I agree that definitely none of the most selective schools is accepting 12 kids from any one relatively small school.[/quote]
