[quote=Anonymous] "This isn't true at all. Last year a very large percentage of the Ivy and top20 admits were legacies. There are a ton of well educated parents at Walls. Then most of the rest of the Ivies were first gen/URM. This is not to say that the kids were not qualified (they were) but their hooks are what pushed them over. I don't know this year's class so I can't comment on them." [/quote] You are so right! Doing my research early but noticed the same trend at other DC public/charter high schools - maybe 3 categories: recruited athletes, first gen/URM and legacies. Oddly enough some were "general legacies" - meaning they got into an Ivy but parent(s) went to a different Ivy. [/quote]
