[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not have children at any of these private schools, but are you - previous poster - telling us that Sidwell Friends School had eight students admitted to the University of Pennsylvania, and ten (!) students admitted to Yale in the early applicant pool?

If so, well I have to admit, that is impressive, particularly the number of students admitted to Yale as early applicants - especially for a small class.[/quote]

Probably the kids of movers and shakers.[/quote]

Nope, a mixed group of campus leaders: from debate, the newspaper, chorus, musicals, math team...[/quote]

I have no doubt that the students are well-deserving, obviously, or they would not have been admitted.  I am curious how many legacies are in the admitted group?[/quote]

I posted this question and, by the way, I do not mean it as a snarky question or a putdown - and I hope that no one interprets it as such.

It is probably the case that [i]most[/i] colleges and universities will welcome the chance to admit a [i]very well-qualified, accomplished student [/i] who has some family connection to the school, if only because they know that student is likely to be excited and informed about the college, and want to attend.

But I am nevertheless curious how many of the ten deserving and qualified Sidwell students admitted to Yale were also some sort of legacy?  I do not expect an answer but perhaps I will receive one.  Thank you.[/quote]

No matter how sweetly you ask the question, your motives are suspicious.  Past responses to questions like yours have been uniformly met with slanderous assertions about the merits of the candidates themselves and the unfairness of the system.  See Yale provided public data and be satisfied.[/quote]
