"Offer" is a term used for recruited athletes. Otherwise, you mean "acceptance."

I only think of offer in the context of a recruited athlete.

Then your thinking is limited.

The entire concept of an offer is in the context of receiving an "acceptance" before even applying to the school.

This what OP is talking about...or are they talking about kids that applied and were accepted?

I feel like the online systems (naviance and SCOIR) will be off this year bc there are SOOO many admits off the WL?

^ I mean to EACH of the Ivies, not just 1-3 kids to all the ivy leagues.

You can't see the offers unless the students getting those offers report them.

Looking at Bethesda magazine I did see most years that Walt Whitman HS would report about 200-250 kids going to UMDCP and 1 to 3 students each year to the various Ivies.

They don’t have an official maximum, but they don’t want, say, 300 kids from the same HS in the freshman class, even if every one of them is very qualified. They also want geographic diversity.

You can see the data for Arlington here (I’m sure it’s available for all school districts):

Adding to this, if you look at UVA admissions across the 3 comprehensive high schools in APS, the percent accepted is all around 26-27% of kids who applied across all three HSs. That’s consistent year after year, give or take. So hard to believe there’s no quota/percentage they’re looking for from each school.

This. They claim not to have quotas but I could see in our Naviance that UVA takes about 50 students from our HS every year, regardless of the number of applications. Maybe other HS have a different "not quota but really a quota".

Check naviance or SCOIR.

PP again, your best option is to use Scoir or whatever platform your HS uses to see what results students with similar stats to yours have had from certain colleges.

Is there a way to see how many offers e.g. UVA or VT gave to McLean High school or TJ? For a similar student, will colleges give fewer offers to a HS if they think students will choose a different college?
