[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]previous poster -I omitted the number of Yale admits (4)

My take after watching the STA admits very closely in recent years is that that kids getting admitted to the Ivies are 1)sports recruits 2)the top academic kids (i.e. kids who really stand out academically).
Ironically, many of these kids are Ivy legacies but not to the Ivy that they are attending themselves. For example, last year there were [b]4[/b] Yale admits who were not legacies. The school is swarming with Yale legacies (probably 20 in any class when you count both parents) but they are not the kids that got in. This year there are already a few Harvard admits. I don't know both kids but the one I do know is not a legacy but is a kid who is an academic genius in one subject (complete outlier at the school).
If anything, the STA college admits seem to restore my faith in the process.[/quote]

All of the Ivy and other Ed admits so far are legacies or athletic recruits except 1. Hearing lots of non-legacy non athletic recruit kids shut out of Ed. [/quote]

Troll post. This isn’t even close to true.

It is true. Legacies to ivies and other top 30 schools getting admitted and and athletic recruits many others are getting rejected. [/quote]
