"This isn't true at all.  Last year a very large percentage of the Ivy and top20 admits were legacies. There are a ton of well educated parents at Walls.  Then most of the rest of the Ivies were first gen/URM. This is not to say that the kids were not qualified (they were) but their hooks are what pushed them over. I don't know this year's class so I can't comment on them."

You are so right! Doing my research early but noticed the same trend at other DC public/charter high schools - maybe 3 categories: recruited athletes, first gen/URM and legacies. Oddly enough some were "general legacies" - meaning they got into an Ivy but parent(s) went to a different Ivy. [/quote]

OMG... do you mean that by "doing my research," you're internet stalking kids who are posting about their college admissions, tracking down who their parents are, and then finding out where their parents went to college?[/quote]

Claiming you know these types of details about high schoolers is weird.  I think you should spend more time outside instead of stalking school admit pages.  [/quote]
