[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it hard to believe that BASIS DC is full of Ivy League legacies [/quote] There are many UMC Capitol Hill families with kids at BASIS. Know of Princeton and Yale legacy parents with kids at BASIS, though no idea if their kids are in the 2025 class. It's probably not full of legacies, but it definitely has a bunch.[/quote] Legacy doesn't do much nowadays, and some universities and colleges no longer consider it. Just talk to all the Big 3 legacy parents whose kids didn't get into their alma maters.[/quote] Legacy admissions still help a lot-with one study showing that they're 4x likelier to get in than applicants with the same test scores. (Spare me the anecdotes about Ivy Leaguer X's kid not getting in, it doesn't mean every legacy kid gets in, but it still helps, all else fixed). https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/27/upshot/ivy-league-legacy-admissions.html [/quote]
