like me or like mine?

[caronmi]

Sorry I made a mistake, my question should be "as", not "like" in the title.

"She studies in the same school as me/mine?"
Which is right? Thanks.

You'll see different possibilities: as I/as I do/as me
Traditionally I was preferred, but me is common usage.

Don't we use 'that' as a combination with 'same' e.g.
This is the same boy that I saw yesterday.
Please guide.

Hello, Shoaib.

(1) Mr. Wilson Follett in his Modern American Usage says both as and

that are correct. I believe that most other books nowadays agree.

(2) Mr. Follett says we usually use that when we want to define.

His example: I bought the same brand that I bought the last time.

It tells you which brand I bought.

(3) Mr. Follett says we usually use as when we want to show a

comparison.

His example: After that experience he was never the same as he

was before.

It tells what he was like before the experience and after it.

(4) So I think you are right:

This is the same boy that I saw yesterday. (that I saw yesterday

defines. That is, it tells us which boy.)

I think many native speakers would even drop that in conversation.

Thank you

Yes, even I would drop it (if possible).
This is the same boy I saw yesterday.
He is the fastest boy (that) I've ever seen.

(Example 2 is different, but even there I would not add the "that").

Cheers!
