[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]65% did not get into ivies?[/quote] 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] The legacy pool has a higher admit rate because, on average, they are a more highly qualified pool than the general pool (which one would expect, given their parents' background/education/privilege). Unless you are a huge donor (in the $$ millions these days), being a run-of-the-mill legacy isn't going to do much to boost you. Unless there are multiple so-called "development cases" in this pool, I think all the boys deserve congratulations. [/quote]
