[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our experience last year and the experience at our DMV private is that the only kids who got into ivies post deferral were legacies. this is probably because in an area like the DMV there are always a whole lot of well qualified (or better qualified) kids who apply RD.  Perhaps in a more rural are, the college is waiting to see if someone better comes along in RD but they don't so they go with the ED candidate.  In this area that doesn't happen.

Colleges don't have exact quota per high school or city or region but they sort of do.

Thank you, I appreciate this insight. My father went to the Ivy DC was deferred from for undergrad, and it was listed in DC's application. Grandparent legacy was asked as part of their "legacy" question on CommonApp, but I left that part out because I know grandparent legacy is likely insignificant.[/quote]

I hope it works out for you. My child was accepted to an Ivy that their grandparent went to for undergrad (child applied RD-->got off wait list).  The school says on their paperwork "we do not consider grandparents to be legacy" but I wonder...[/quote]
