There are over 2000 private high schools and over 20000 public high schools in the US, plus who knows how many internationally.

How many matriculants at Harvard would you expect any top U.S. private school to have when the incoming class size is around 1600 students?

Lol Harvard’s yield is over 80 percent. The probability that “several” were accepted is very very low. Indeed the probability that one was is less than 20 percent.

They had 6 in 2024. The number is going to fluctuate from year to year.
