[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She seems like a great kid and deserving--but all I could come away with was----yeah-you were legacy. Period. Plenty of kids with higher stats/ECs got rejected because they didn't have that bump. So the same kid w.out the legacy would be telling a different story in that article.[/quote] Not really, because she was also admitted to Johns Hopkins in addition to Dartmouth.[/quote] Yes. But Ivy legacy is different. My kid got into Hopkins, Duke. Pomona and several T20s, but WL at D & 2 other Ivies with perfect record, rigor, national level ECs and great essays. It’s fine because this deserves to be there, but if one kid is a legacy and a comparable kid is not - the legacy at an Ivy always gets the spot.[/quote]
