Geez. Sorry. That stinks. No offense to Penn State, but your kid deserves better. Does Yale only count legacy if ED?

Potentially. Luckily he really likes Penn State and is happy to go there. Part of the reason he only applied to a few other schools. We were a bit shocked though!

Aside from Penn State, did he apply to any other schools that aren't highly rejective?

I found legacy + athlete or legacy + URM was needed for Yale legacy to help.

That is messed up. Those are incredible stats with rowing. Should have been a shoe in at any ivy and public ivy. Sorry but I am very happy he found a school to his satisfaction.

A “shoe in”? Seriously? For schools that literally get hundreds of thousands of applications for just a few thousand spots?

Any response that doesn't lost intended major is completely unhelpful.

Some schools have more capacity for chemical engineering than others
