[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Correct. No top school is going to admit 12-15 kids from one high school. They max out at about 5, more likely at 2 per school--even though the other kids from that school may be just as qualified. Look at the Instagram admit accounts or alumni magazines from the past 5 years (which list where kids are going to college)---this will prove my point. 
Penn may admit 10 kids TOTAL from DC. They're not admitting all 10 from Sidwell or all 10 from GDS. They will take 2 from each (and 1 from Walls and 2 from NCS and 1 from DCI... etc. (numbers made up)). It's common sense that if 10 other kids are applying ED to an good college from your private high school then your odds at that school are REALLY LOW. 
That's why I think it's really weird that all those kids wasted their ED spot on the same schools. The vast majority are not getting in. They will lose their spot to a classmate.[/quote]

This is wrong. I know for a fact that [b]Yale admitted 11 kids from SFS about 5 years ago[/b].  STA regularly gets 6-10 kids into UChicago.  Both of these are "top schools."[/quote]

But not ED. That was a mix of ED and RD.[/quote]
