[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new strategy from our private is for the Yale grad parent to conveniently become a Yale faculty 1-4 years before their kid applies REA...

3/3 faculty or faculty + legacy kids were admitted in the last 3 years. Shrug[/quote]

I’ve seen that with Princeton for NYC kids. Not necessarily legacy, but parents joining faculty a few years before college applications while living in the city.[/quote]

You don't just "join the faculty" at Princeton to help your kid. It's not like walking into McDonald's and asking for a Happy Meal. It is kind of selective and often determined largely by specific needs.

Name me three people who did this. It is not outing anyone - if they existed and I had oodles of free time I could probably figure it out if they really existed.[/quote]

Your post made me LOL. My kid went to Princeton, and you're right, it wouldn't happen..maybe once in years. We knew a bunch of legacy kids who didn't get in if they weren't " name on a building rich".[/quote]
