[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand all this fuss about legacy figures at 30% when no one is mentioning what the parents of those 30% give in order to get their kids in. It's well known that almost all legacy applicants have the grades, test scores, connections and ECs to get in. What they need is a parent or grandparent who has given a 7 figure donation. Then they get in. Those are your 30%. And I speak from experience.[/quote] This is ridiculous. Do you really think that every year 30% of the class has parents or grandparents who gave 7 figures? This is a logical fallacy. Legacies who give 7 figures probably do get in but that does not mean that all legacies who get in have donated 7 figures. What experience could you possibly have had to validate this? Even if you have 7 figures, you cannot possibly extrapolate that to another 600 people. I’m a legacy at a HYP and have two kids attending my alma mater. I have donated zero dollars since graduating. [/quote]
