[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is true that at least half of the early slots go to legacies, URMs and athletes. [/quote] There are many ways to determine who's best - not just SAT scores. [b]And for the record, legacies have higher grades and SATs than the overall pool (not surprising since they are born with above average advantages)[/b]. And, athletes and URM at the Ivies have scores well above the top 25% of students at state flagship schools and would easily qualify for the merit scholarships at pretty much everywhere that offers them. Harvard could never recruit a Stephen Curry because of the Ivy's individual and team academic index requirements. An Ivy "dumb jock" typically has higher scores and grades than the brainiac at UMD.[/quote] Did the legacy kids from your DC's school make this list?[/quote]
