[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So does it help if we are full pay AND a protected class? DS will have a 3.2 unweighted, no SAT yet; but with all honors and 5 AP from a FCPS. DH is a legacy Duke grad (MBA program), so would like DS to go there, but kid would be ok in UVA or JMU, which we have visited. We would be full pay. [/quote] With a 3.2 I don't think any of those schools are on the table.[/quote] Not even JMU?[/quote] Interesting to note that Duke's Common Data Set has "Alumni Relation" checked as "Considered" whereas at UVA, alumni relation is checked "Very Important"[/quote] Legacy is huge hook for UVA if you are OOS. Legacy OOS are put in the IS pool...go from a 20% acceptance rate to > 40%.[/quote] Is it legacy if it isn't a parent? My three brothers went to UVA, but I went to UCLA. [/quote]
