[quote=Anonymous]It is a very small percentage of their admitted class (2%)=30 kids So the narrative that kids don't get in to Ivys because of high legacy rates is not really true. Kids don't get in to the Ivys because 1. there is too much grade inflation at many high schools 2. test optional gave them the out if they weren't good "test takers" but now that has led to lower performing college freshmen (hence the reversal at MIT and others based on this data). 3. Top kids who can afford it do shotgun applications to 20-30 schools https://www.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/documents/2024/03/ad-hoc-committee-undergraduate-admission-031424.pdf[/quote]
