[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a lot of IVY legacy matriculants as I've had recent grades at both a top DMV public and a top DC private and a current senior. [b]The legacies pretty much always meet that same academic standards as the non legacy Ivy admitted classmates: perfect grades (or close to them in the case of the top private), top scores. [/b] What they don't have or need to have is that something extra that gets them picked. I.e. they get in with regular extracurriculars. Having attended an Ivy as a parent saves your kids from having to craft the resume of a 40 year old. This description fits almost Ivy legacy admit I know this year. Totally academically qualified but saved from having to do bench science research, having 6 international awards and starting a non-profit that is featured on the national news. [/quote] This is true of most rejected applicants. [/quote]
