[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A significant number (but not all) of the legacies admitted either were a) over-qualified (if there is such a thing at the top schools), or b) were equally qualified and it was a tie breaker. The ignorant posters who act like all or almost all legacies got in solely because they were legacies are idiots. Full stop. Not that complicated. When I meet a legacy, I assume they were meant to be there because more were than weren't. If in conversation they prove otherwise, then I assume otherwise.

The stupidity around here never ceases to amaze me.[/quote]

Not saying the legacies aren’t qualified, agree that most are equally qualified, but there are literally thousands of equally qualified unhooked kids who don’t get in . . Their chances are actually lower than 5% when you take out the 50% of seats essentially reserved for hooked kids. That is the point, it’s about whether OP should really be butt hurt that some kids are pointing out the obvious, that her kid had an advantage [/quote]

The data is irrefutable at this point. There is no need to pretend otherwise. [/quote]
