[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed.  T20 universities and T10 lacs admit too many hooked applicants.  If they are admitting over 20% QuestBridge, they should increase their class proportionally.[/quote]

You could look at the data and realize that Ivies have 10-20% of kids (mostly white kids) who are being admitted because they're legacies, i.e. because they had the luck to be born to a rich alum. But I guess it's more convenient to blame the poor brown kids for being undeserving.[/quote]

PP here.  Agreed.  Legacy too.  If they are admitting 10-20% legacy and over 20% QuestBridge, they should increase their class proportionally.  [/quote]

And don't forget the 20% internationals!

The truth is there is VERY little room at these top schools (mainly the ivies) because of legacy, athletes, quest bridge, donors and celebrities and full pay internationals. The acceptance rate for your average middle income high stat kid has to be laughably low. LOL. [/quote]
