[quote=Anonymous]Let's break this down, OP. Your kid is in the 25-75 percent range for these schools, you say. That puts him in the running but doesn't distinguish him. The ECs then come into play, and he doesn't have any that distinguish him there either. What he does have is legacy. It means very little to be a legacy these days unless you're a development case, which you say you're not. It's become more of a tie-breaker, but your kid isn't really in a tie with anyone. He's in the vast middle of a group of kids academics wise where the large majority aren't getting in. If I had to guess, which of course is all that any of us is doing, I'd say he's lucky if he gets a courtesy wait-list. My kid, who sounds a lot like yours, didn't even get that.[/quote]
