[quote=Anonymous]Just a guess here but I'm thinking one reason they give a leg up on legacies being admitted because they think those kids if accepted would have a higher chance of accepting admission. Giving an acceptance letter to someone who decides to go to college elsewhere lowers their stats in the US News and World college ranking. It's better to limit those types of acceptances even if those applicants are qualified. If the kid is a legacy, then you know the parents are more likely to like the college and support their child going there. Perhaps not a factor with H, Y, P but I imagine it does impact all the other schools to some degree.[/quote]
