[quote=Anonymous]NP.  Here's something I don't understand about this discussion -- We know Sidwell had at least 10-11 students admitted to Yale last school year.  Doesn't that irrefutable fact prove that the people are wrong when they claim colleges place quotas on how many students they will accept from one school?  Yes, I understand the 10-11 students is an abnormally high number, but it's still the number that Yale admitted.  So regardless of whether it's a high-water mark or not, it still demonstrates that there's no quota cap, right?

FWIW, this question isn't really about Sidwell.  It's more of a general question about college admissions quotas.  It's just that Sidwell's huge number into Yale brings the question to the forefront.

Spin-off question -- What's the actual story on the Sidwell students admitted to Yale?  I recall it was either 10 or 11, but cannot remember which.  Is that 10-11 admitted, or is it 10-11 matriculating?  If 10-11 matriculating, could that conceivably mean even more were admitted but chose another college?  I just did not follow that discussion closely enough in the spring, so any explanation appreciated.[/quote]
