[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think high schools do a disservice to the kids by promoting the idea that applying to other schools is taking someone’s spot.

Trophy hunting is in poor taste. But there’s no reason that all kids have to know all things by Nov 1. Based on what - one 90 minute tour and vague sense of “aura”? Those admitted student weekends are important.

In Yale’s podcast, they clearly state they have no quota for any high school. Some years they’ll take zero from feeder, some years 12 (per them). I’m sure the other HYPSM are the same.  MIT took 12 from neighboring HS a couple years ago, up from 1-2. And then back down to a few the next year.

These schools take whomever they want. The kids aren’t in competition - here anyway. Stop adding intra-school pressure.

This describes my kid.  He simply didn’t know yet where he wanted to go by Nov 1, so applied to one of HYPMS and will apply to other selective schools regular decision.  He still needs to visit schools too.[/quote]
