[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer, of course, is that if you are truly a legacy and truly give every year, that will be noted by the admissions committee. How much of an edge will be determined by how far one's DH has taken that STA education (money, power, fame, or not) and by how much is actually donated every year (if one is of means, and they're just throwing in nominal sums as a place holder, that of course doesn't quite count in the same way that throwing in enough funds that the new athletic field will be adorned with your last name).[/quote] What's your basis for these statements? Do you have any particular insider knowledge about StA or any other school, or is this just your more generalized understanding of how admissions often works? (Note that I'm not saying you're wrong or mistaken; in fact, I suspect you're right. But I'm just curious about what support you may have for these statements.)[/quote]
