[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ Once again, for those in the cheap seats: What is Harvard’s legacy admit rate for legacies who are NOT also URM, recruited athletes, and the children of big donors? It’s not 33%.[/quote] 6 percent acceptance rate for all applicants who are not legacies - URM, athletes, first gen, donors included. 33 percent when the legacy thumb is on the scale - for URM, athletes, donors. Clearly, legacy still matters whether you want to acknowledge it or not. [/quote] What is the statistic for legacy admissions ALONE (not in conjunction with URM, athlete, and donor)? And where is the link? I’m not taking your word for anything.[/quote] You really want to push back on this legacy hook idea, don’t you? Acc to the Harvard paper itself, all things being equal, legacy applicants have an appreciable advantage over non-legacy. But keep your fingers in your ears if you like. That usually works. [/quote]
