No, and 35% don't usually get in.  Thus, the post's title, "Big College Admissions Year at St. Albans."[/quote]

Tjere were SEVERAL legacies this year bringing it up to the 35% (not all were...so congrats to those who earned it the hard way!)..[/quote]

Let's get one fact straight. It has become so competitive to get into certain Universities (Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Standford & MIT) that even the most qualified applicants still aren't admitted into all the Universities. Legacies who are admitted to these Universities (except for a very small number whose parents have built buildings) are more than qualified and have the grades and scores to get in. Being a legacy difference maker in this situation. But, it's not a difference maker if the student is not qualified with the scores & being in a certain quadrant of their class. Or, the universities are confident that legacies at schools like St. Alban's, NCS, GDS, Maret, Holton have the scores & capacity to be successful at their respective institutions. This is where a high school's reputation & cache can be a difference maker for a legacy.
