[quote=Anonymous]Stop trying to confuse tuition benefits with admissions preferences. They are separate benefits. If admissions preference it’s not a big deal, then there should not be a problem if schools come out and say that they either will stop the practice or never did it. But many elite schools ARE doing giving the children of staff admissions preferences. A quick good search comes up Stanford, Harvard, UVa, Pomona, Vanderbilt, and Georgetown. And it’s not insignificant. 1-2% of a class is not nothing. And having almost 50% of the applicants of family of faculty/staff admitted is not nothing. The fact that this not widely known is interesting to me. If it’s nothing to be ashamed of, then why attempt to hide it? One explanation is that faculty/staff admissions perfermece at least at Harvard largely helps Asian applicants. See the UChicago study from above. No big change for white or minority. [/quote]
