[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - OK, I rechecked. He is not 50th percentile. He is solidly in between 50-75%. Still, the "typical white male" thing is certainly working against him. [/quote] If its a top 10 college being 50-75% as a typical white male student isn’t going to get you anywhere. Schools don’t care about legacies anymore and especially not the ones that haven’t contributed millions of dollars. Why should they care about your kid? I haven’t heard any compelling reasons. These schools reject tons of kids with 98% stats. 50th % is for athletes, poor kids, kids who are first in their family to go to college. It’s not for privileged kids.[/quote] Full pay means something. They bring in OP’s kid at full pay and that’s one more poor kid with better stats that they can also accept. Question might also turn on what kind of endowment OP’s alma mater has. Do they need another full pay kid ?[/quote]
