[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think 30% of Princeton is legacy; however, only about 30 kids get an actual legacy bump (i.e., a tiebreaker between them and another student). [/quote] +1. My family knows too many legacies personally in the current freshman class for the number to be anywhere near 30. [/quote] OMG, it's not 30 percent. It's more like 10 percent.[/quote] Did you read the original post? Obviously this poster meant 30 students not 30 percent. [/quote] If you read the document, it also says 70% of legacies are rejected so that means that of the legacies that apply about 30% are accepted. 30 of the legacies are accepted as a “tie breaker” between two equal candidates. In the past about 10% of the student body were legacies, unclear what the percentage would be now since they do not publish data. [/quote]
