I am new to Facebook and just received a lot of friend requests from people I know, but didn't expect to add me. Did they manually choose me or did a request just get sent to me because we went to the same high school? thanks!

they could have manually chosen you. there is also a feature on the side that says "people you may know" and it may have had you listed because of mutual friends. so it could be either :) you can ask people if it says something like the following on their newsfeed:

YOUR NAME HERE is now friends with PERSON WHO ADDED YOU. PERSON WHO ADDED YOU found them through the People You May Know tool.

so you can find out that way too :) and if it just says "YOUR NAME HERE is now friends with PERSON WHO ADDED YOU" that means they manually chose you. so if you ask someone if it says that on their newsfeed you can find out :)
