[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it hard to believe that anyone in those admissions offices would give a quantitative answer to this question (which they must receive all the time). A 2x or 3x bump?? No way would they just admit that freely.[/quote] Harvard single legacy gets a 5x bump according to an analysis of the lawsuit data - an applicant who normally would have a 10% chance of being admitted has a 50% chance if they are a legacy. Double legacy is even higher bump. Legacy admit rate was around 33% so between 5 and 6 times higher than the regular admit rate. [/quot But only if the students’ grades and grades are at the top. And parents have given Lots of money.[/quote] Money has nothing to do with it. 33% of legacies are not donating “big money” The point of the study is that if two students have equal grades, the non legacy has 10% admit rate and legacy has 50%.
