[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You really want to push back on this legacy hook idea, don’t you? Acc to the Harvard paper itself, all things being equal, legacy applicants have an appreciable advantage over non-legacy.[/quote] I'm not PP, but no one is claiming that the Harvard admit rate for those who are legacy (and have no other "hook") is 6 percent or lower. But you seem to be implying that it's 33 percent for them, which it obviously isn't. The answer obviously lies somewhere between 6 and 33 percent, but you're in no position to offer an informed opinion about whether the number for legacy alone is closer to 6, 33, or somewhere in the middle.[/quote]
