Thus, there are only 3 recommended students in U.A. But aren't there 20 students in Class 1-B too? How did the 20th student get in then? This is my spectulation, so after Yoarashi rejected U.A. recommendation, the 37th highest scoring student can replace the empty slot for Heroic Course. Also, why would they replace someone who dropped out from the recommendation list with someone from the main exam list, instead of just promiting the fifth best person from the recommendation test? That's just common sense. Saying "common sense" is actually a logical fallacy by the way.

To clarify, the empty slot that I mentioned refers to the spot for Heroic Classes rather than replacing someone from the recommendation list. I did mention that it is a spectulation rather than a canon fact.

The author refers to only 4 recommended students in U.A. so far. Maybe U.A. does not want to hide that one of the recommended student went to another school instead.

Okay then, it's basic logic, if that's what you want to call it. Considering we know Juuzo took the test alongside Yoarashi and Todoroki, it's likely that he was given Yoarashi's spot after he turned it down. Meanwhile, Momo and the other unknown student tested at a different time/location as we didn't see Momo with them.

I know what you meant, it still doesn't make sense. They had multple people take the test, if one for whatever reason turned it down, it makes no sense to go "well, instead of promoting one of the people from that exam, let's just do it from the other exam".

Yes, four, as in there are four in the first year class. One student deciding not to go to the school is not a big deal, hardly something to keep quiet. Aizawa had no problem telling the students Yoarashi decided not to go to U.A.

You're speculating in a roundabout when there are other more obvious avenues, was my point.
