[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Double legacy family, active alumni participation, consistent (but not big $) giving, child with stats that match Brown's admitted students' stats from well regarded private - waitlisted (soft rejection in my opinion).  Same for many classmates.  Legacy is not a meaningful boost at Brown.[/quote]

Again, I think if varies a LOT by where you live.  There are 3 Brown legacies (seniors in ihigh school) on my SINGLE block in DC and at least a dozen at my kid's NW DC private (when both parents of each kid are taken into account).

Brown certainly doesn't want 10 or 15 or 20% of their entire incoming class coming from the DMV which might be the case if all academically qualified legacies were admitted an an equal rate.  I'm sure if you're an academically qualified Brown legacy in rural PA your odds might be quite good.

That and the fact that Brown doesn't take even take legacies at a high rate.  But certainly not at a high rate from areas of the country where there is such a high concentration of legacies. [/quote]
