[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't lump legacy in with athletic recruits. Those are very different admissions process. Legacy essentially has to have all
The basic criteria that a normal
Admit would. Athletic recruits have an entirely different process and required stats. [/quote]

Totally agree and the data in this student survey shows that clearly.  Despite claims in several places on this form the legacy admits have higher standardized test scores.  They aren't the ones needing TO. . .  [/quote]

Are we looking at the same data?[/quote]
If you look at the table under SAT by Legacy status and sort it for "legacies" 72.2% of the admitted legacies claim to have a SAT over 1500 and only 4.9% have a score below 1390.  If you sort the table by non legacies the percent with scores below 1390 is 12.8% and 65.5% have a score over 1500.  By the way the total number of students reporting data for this survey is 539 so it may not be statistically strong and it certainly could be biased both by which students choose to report and whether they were truthful.
