[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If most are legacies then it's not THAT impressive. DS is an Ivy legacy + we're big donors, 7 figures, so we know he'll probably get in no matter where we send him to hs. Right now he's at a DCPCS. The only reason we will switch in the later grades is for the cohort factor a PP mentioned. All these college matriculation figures are useless unless it gives some idea of how many of the kids admitted to the most selective schools are legacies.[/quote] I think you are probably right, but just don't bet all your money on legacies getting into Harvard no matter what. A family fried of ours (both parents double Harvard legacies plus both graduated from Harvard medical school and very successful doctors) was very disappointed when their son (went to public high school but graduated at the top of his class) was WL at Harvard but got into most other top Ivys.[/quote]
