[quote=Anonymous]Not to beat this thing to death, but my nephew applied early admission to an Ivy (happened to be where his parents went, too). He was waitlisted and eventually got in. The point is, though, it turned out there was a surge in early admission applications. From that separate pool, they traditionally accepted say 500 persons. In a normal year, that would have provided a slight advantage in admissions, but because so many applied early admissions that year, it ended up being a disadvantage that year. In the end, as I said, when he was thrown back into the general pool for admissions, he got in. So, even though a student has a "hook", could there be a disadvantage to being considered in a separate pool? Could it be that there are so many legacy applicants one year that it would have been better NOT to be a legacy (or lacrosse player)? [/quote]
