[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]23:55, how many of those are "doubles"?  In other words, was one boy was admitted to all six colleges, and another to four of six?[/quote]

Good question, it was confusing.  I've heard there were 26 different students being accepted to at least one Ivy; my list of 23 was 23 different boys.  Five of the eight Ivies offer early decision, which is binding, so boys who got in early did not apply to any additional schools.  HYP are Early Action (non binding) and I believe most of the HYP early admits stood pat but a few applied and were accepted to additional Ivies.  For anyone admitted early (I believe the total was 17) I listed them with that school even if they applied to additional schools later.  For the additional students who applied regular and/or were deferred, I only listed them matched with one Ivy even though a number got into multiple Ivies.  For the legacy thing I'm going on a combination of what the kids report verified to an extent if I know where the parents went to school, and I mean "primary legacy" (parent attended) because that is the big one in terms of a boost to admissions.

Yes, I'm embarrassed to have paid such attention to this but the kids did talk about it a lot after the early admits and now.  Most other times it doesn't come up.[/quote]
