[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The op-ed noted that her ACT was a 36, so clearly she had at least one big credential that would have made her a competitive applicant for Dartmouth even without legacy status.[/quote] No one said she was qualified. But plenty of qualified kids with high standardized test scores don't get into Ivies each year. The legacy bit is a big hook.[/quote] PP disparaged her with the "third base" comment. Let's take an applicant who gets into all three of Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. This applicant's parents both attended Cornell. Applicant is admitted to Cornell. And yet you would say it was because of the legacy hook?[/quote]
