[quote=Anonymous]When my dad applied to Princeton in the 1960s, a legacy would get in if they felt he was capable of graduating. Usually that meant the son went to a well known prep school, and the headmaster gave a thumbs up. When I applied in the ‘90s, it was honestly similar. Maybe replace “capable of graduating” with “on the curve.” My sense is that today they expect legacy admits to be over 1500 with straight As at a top high school. The break they get is that they don’t need a compelling narrative.[/quote]
